logic error?

[droidus]

i need help doin some logic here:

// put each part of text into an array (task name, task content, task
		// priority)
		for (int i = 0; i < originalLine.length(); i++) {
			if (originalLine.charAt(i) != 'Ø' && originalLine.charAt(i) != '§') {
				text = text + originalLine.charAt(i);
			} else if (originalLine.charAt(i) == 'Ø' || start == true) {
				elements[counter] = text;
				counter++;
				text = "";
				start = false;
			} else if (originalLine.charAt(i) == '§') {
				System.out.println("Counter: " + counter + "\ni: " + i);
				break;
			} else {
				break;
			}
		}
		System.out.println("1: " + elements[0] + " 2: " +  elements[1] + " 3: " +  elements[2]);

output:

1: task1 2: text 3: null

input:

task1ØtextØ2§

should put out:

1: task1 2: text 3: 2

thanks.

? you are only printing the counter state, you have to add
else if (originalLine.charAt(i) == '§') {
elements[counter] = text; // <-----
break;
}
??
And why do you dont use the split method? Or Pattern and Matcher class!

		String originalLine  = "task1ØtextØ2§";
		Matcher m = Pattern.compile("(.+)Ø(.+)Ø(\\d)§").matcher(originalLine);
		if(m.find()){
			System.out.println(m.group(1)+" "+m.group(2)+" "+m.group(3));
		}

thats all!
