My if statment still wont execute!

[invitro]

private void cheat_keyPress(Object source, KeyPressEvent e)
{
char c_char;


c_char = e.getKeyChar();
if(c_char == 13) {


String c_code;
String c_parse;
String c_get;
Form1 mon = new Form1();
long c_line;


c_code = cheat.getText();
c_get = c_code.substring(0,5);





if(c_get.substring(0,c_get.length()) == "money") {
c_parse = c_code.substring(6,c_code.length());
super.close();
c_line = Integer.valueOf(c_parse).intValue();

mon.addmoney(c_line,true);

cheat.setText(c_parse + "testing phase 1");

}
}
}


Whats wrong with this code? The second if wont execute, the first 1 will. ***!

Just a guess here...

Try:

if(c_get.substring(0,c_get.length()).compareTo("money")== 0)

or

if(c_get.substring(0,c_get.length()).toString().compareTo("money")== 0)

Ummmmm, your a ****ing genius!!!
:)
Ive been wondering how to solve this for a while now. I dont see why my code dint work in the first place, but yours works just as fine, thanks!
:D:)


Just 1 thing, why does compareTo have to eqaul 0?... i would think that if it finds a match it would want 1. And return 0 when it dosent, am i mixed up or am i totaly on the wrong track?

Anyways, thanks!

I don't know why it's like that.

Perhaps a match returns 0 as in no error rather than true/false...
