Reconizing Input

[EuropePT]

for(int i=0; i<userInput.length(); i++){
chemicalCh = userInput.charAt(i);

if(Character.isLowerCase(chemicalCh)){
splittedUserInput+=chemicalCh;
String result = (String) chemicalElement.get(splittedUserInput);
System.out.println(splittedUserInput+ " for " +result);
}
else(!splittedUserInput.equals("")){ chemicalArray.add(splittedUserInput.trim());
splittedUserInput = userInput.substring(i,i+1);
}
}

I use this arguement to make my program figure out how to reconize : XeCa
Xe - Xenon
Ca - Calcium

but it doesn't reconize Single character anymore
so if it is XeCaS

It reconize Xe and Ca but not S?

(I store all the character in Hastable, Xe as primary key and Xenon as secondary key)
Can anyone help?

Why not do like that:

for(int i=0; i<userInput.length(); i++)
{
chemicalCh = userInput.charAt(i);

if(Character.isLowerCase(chemicalCh))
{
splittedUserInput += chemicalCh;
String result = (String)chemicalElement.get(splittedUserInput);

System.out.println(splittedUserInput+ " for " +result);

splittedUserInput = "";
}
else(!splittedUserInput.equals(""))
{
splittedUserInput = chemicalCh;
}
}

HI thanks but doesn't work.
ChemicalCh is character and splitted user Input is String.

I also mistype the sytax of the else statement
here it is:

for(int i=0; i<userInput.length(); i++){
chemicalCh = userInput.charAt(i);

if(Character.isLowerCase(chemicalCh)){
splittedUserInput+=chemicalCh;
String result = (String)chemicalElement.get (splittedUserInput);
System.out.println(splittedUserInput+ " for " +result);
}
else{
if (!splittedUserInput.equals(""))
chemicalArray.add(splittedUserInput.trim());
splittedUserInput = userInput.substring(i,i+1);
}
}


any suggestion ? covert the string back to ch?
or is there a better method?

Thanks!

no need to reply, I got it by adding another For loop, if and else statement to my exisitng code.
Thanks!
