Stopping for "loop" when conditions are met

[KarlNorway]

Hi

I have a small issu here.

I want to have something happen when the condition is met.

Here is my code

void sortTypes() {
			Element docEle = dom.getDocumentElement();
			
			System.out.println("sortTypes enterd");
			
			
			NodeList nlT = docEle.getElementsByTagName("Type");
			System.out.println("Types found \n searching for:" + Selected);
			
			if(nlT != null && nlT.getLength() > 0) {
				for(int i = 0 ; i < nlT.getLength();i++) {
					
					//get the employee element
					Element elT = (Element)nlT.item(i);
					
					//get the Employee object
					String eT = getType(elT);
					
					System.out.println("Processing \n" + eT);
					
					
					if(eT.equals(Selected)){
						
						
	        	System.out.println(Selected + "Found");
	        	
	        	
	           
	            }
					}
				}
	    }

This is the output.

sortTypes enterd
Types found 
 searching for:Tansducer 
Processing 
Initialized
Processing 
SIO
Processing 
UTB
Processing 
Battery
Processing 
Tansducer
Processing 
UTBHV
Processing 
Release

I dont seem to get int the last if statement.
Is ther a way to stop when the string eT is equal to the string Selected?

[Eleeist]

Maybe break out of the loop when if() condition is met?

Just put in a break statement.

Ok will try that

thanks for helping

Dosent work for me..

Your data doesn´t seem to contain the value ´T(r)ansducer'?

It dosen't matter what I choose. It never stops

It actually looks like I dont get inside the last IF statement.

Print out the values found as:

 System.out.println("Processing \n[" + eT+"]");

and check if the value(s) contain leading or trailing spaces ...

(scratch bald head)

When I do like this:

	if(eT.equals(eT)){

It stops (obviously) but still not the result I wan't


EDIT

Result from Jos output:

Types found 
 searching for:Battery 
Processing 
[Initialized]
Processing 
[SIO]
Processing 
[UTB]
Processing 
[Battery]
Processing 
[Tansducer]
Processing 
[UTBHV]
Processing 
[Release]

It should be the same as the string selected is actually parsed from the same document..

Did you check if there were trailing spaces in your data? (see my previous reply). Also check what the String.trim() method can do for you.

kind regards,

I found that the string selected actually has a trailing white space..

Fixing now.

Removing a space in the place where i build up the array to go into a combo (that spits out selected string) helped...

Thaks a lot folks.
