quick question

Dear friends,

how can i add : ch != ' ' ';
i tried to use that in the code in order to avoid reading the character ' but it didn't work....any idea

Code:

---

  for(int k= 0; k < wordsarr[i].length(); k++)
      { 
          ch = wordsarr[i].charAt(k) ;
         
          if(ch != ';' && ch != ',' && ch != '"' && ch != '-' )
          {
              copywords[i] =    copywords[i] + ch ;
          }

In future, it helps us if you post any compiler or runtime errors you get.

You need to "escape" the sybol by preceding it with a back slash:

Code:

---

public class Test {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
                char c1 = 'a';
                if (c1 != '\'') {
                        System.out.println("Not '!");
                }
        }
}

---

you can not write
if (c1 != ''')

if i write c1 = '''; it gives an error that says "empty character literal" so i want to use the unicode for ' to avoid the problem. what is the unicode for '

thanks

The forum keeps getting rid of my extra backslash. I've worked out how to keep it now:

Code:

---

public class Test {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
                char c1 = 'a';
                if (c1 != '\\'') {
                        System.out.println("Not '!");
                }
        }
}

Now it works nicely ...............many thanks for your efforts.




thanks a lot
