Junit tests for toString()

[trixma]

I want to create a toString test but i have alot of descriptive text inside my string and two strings will never be the same as shown below:

public String toString(){
return ("Name: " + fname + ", " + lname + "Product: " + product);
}

aCustomer.toString("Andrew", "Bogart", "Coke");
It will not be the sane as name and product are not included.

I am currently printing out the toString extracted from customer class and using println to show the expected result as shown below

System.out.println("Expected " + "Name :" + "Andrew" + ", " + "Boggart" + " Product: " + Coke);
System.out.println(aCustomer.toString("Andrew", "Bogart", "Coke"));

Does anyone have a better way to test the toString method using Junit tests?

Pattern matching is usually a viable alternative, if the version of java that you are using supports it. Check out the Regular Expression tutorial at: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/extra/regex/

Hope this helps.
