Java :Checking for Not equal to

[Former Member]

Hi Group,

In Java How to Check the Condition for not equals to

When I am using the following code I am not getting expected result:

String str1 = new String();
String str2 = new String();
String str3 = new String();
String str4 = new String();

for (int i =0; i<a.length; i++)
{
str1=a<i>.substring(0,6);
str2=a<i>.substring(7,14); 
str3=a<i>.substring(18,23); 
str4=a<i>.substring(24,31); 
if ( (!str1.equals("000000")) || (!str2.equals("00000000")) || (!str3.equals("000000")) ||
    (!str4.equals("00000000")))
 
result.addValue("");

}

Hi,

Let us know the results.

kindly close the thread if ur problem is solved!

or you can use this...this will also work

if ( !( (str1.equals("000000")) || (str2.equals("00000000")) || (str3.equals("000000")) ||

(str4.equals("00000000")) )

result.addValue("");

}

Note: I applied De Morgans law to what others said....[ !A && !B = !(A || B) ]

i am using something i learned during my bachelor's degree....

Hi,

The substring method in String class works as follows

substring(int beginIndex,int endIndex)

beginIndex - the beginning index, inclusive.

endIndex - the ending index, exclusive.

Here, str2 will have only 7 chars ( str2=a.substring(7,14); )

But u r comparing with 8 chars.

So always this condition will fail and not of this will return true.

Same for str3 and str4

So always the "if" will return "true".

This code will work properly

if ( (!str1.equals("000000")) || (!str2.equals("0000000")) || (!str3.equals("00000")) ||

(!str4.equals("0000000")))

This "if" will return "false" when str1, str2, str3 and str4 has all zeros

and return "true" if any one str has different value

Hi Uma,

I need to check that If the Str1..str5 (all) each one not quals to '0000' then only proceed otherwise not

[prabhu_s2]

instead of having a number of if condition convert Str1..str5 to integer and sumup. check if greater than 0. else do ur operation.

Hi,

Then use the below code:

if (( !(str1.equals("000000")) && !(str2.equals("0000000")) && !(str3.equals("000000")) && !(str4.equals("00000000"))))

result.addValue("");

This may help you.

Hi,

change all OR (||) by AND (&&)

After adding this below code I am getting the Error that

String str1 = new String();
String str2 = new String();
String str3 = new String();
String str4 = new String();
String str5 = new String();
String str6 = new String();
String str7 = new String();
String str8 = new String();
String str9 = new String();
String str10 = new String();
String str11 = new String();
String str12= new String();

for (int i =0; i<a.length; i++)
{
str1=a<i>.substring(0,5);
str2=a<i>.substring(6,13); 
str3=a<i>.substring(17,22); 
str4=a<i>.substring(23,30); 
if ( (!str1.equals("000000")) &&  (!str2.equals("00000000")) && (!str3.equals("000000")) &&
    (!str4.equals("00000000")))
//if ( (str1 != "000000")  || (str2 != "00000000") || (str3 != "000000") || (str4 != "00000000"))
result.addValue("");

}

for (int j =0; j<b.length; j++)
{
str5 =a[j].substring(0,5);
str6 =a[j].substring(6,13); 
str7=a[j].substring(17,22); 
str8 =a[j].substring(23,30); 
if ( (!str5.equals("000000")) &&  (!str6.equals("00000000")) &&  (!str7.equals("000000")) &&
    (!str8.equals("00000000")))
//if ( (str5 != "000000")  || (str6 != "00000000") || (str7 != "000000") || (str8 != "00000000"))
 result.addValue("");

// result.addValue("");
}
for (int k =0; k<c.length; k++)
{
str9 =a[k].substring(0,5);
str10=a[k].substring(6,13); 
str11=a[k].substring(17,22); 
str12=a[k].substring(23,30); 
if ( (!str9.equals("000000")) && (!str10.equals("00000000")) && (!str11.equals("000000")) &&
    (!str12.equals("00000000")))
//if ( (str9 != "000000")  || (str10 != "00000000") || (str11 != "000000") || (str12 != "00000000"))

 result.addValue("");

}

Sfter adding above Code I am getting this error

<b>

Exception:[java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 5] in class com.sap.xi.tf._MM_SR3_BACS_02_ method createTC$[, , ]

</b>

[prabhu_s2]

replace

for (int k =0; k<c.length; k++)

Hi,

>><i>if ( (!str1.equals("000000")) || (!str2.equals("00000000")) || (!str3.equals("000000")) ||

(!str4.equals("00000000")))

result.addValue("");</i>

Since u need

<i> I need to check that If the Str1..str5 (all) each one not quals to '0000' then only proceed otherwise not</i>

Either choose:

1) if ( (!str1.equals("0000")) && (!str2.equals("0000")) && (!str3.equals("0000")) &&

(!str4.equals("0000")))

result.addValue("");

or

2)

if ( (!str1.equals("000000"))

{

if (!str2.equals("00000000"))

{

if (!str3.equals("000000"))

{

if (!str4.equals("00000000")))

result.addValue("");

}

}

}

as you can see both servers the same method, But i would prefer to achieve the same functionality with the available node functions (like <b>if then else and substring</b>) in Message Mapping

Hi swabap,

Dont declare these many variables:

<i>String str1 = new String();

String str2 = new String();

String str3 = new String();

String str4 = new String();

String str5 = new String();

String str6 = new String();

String str7 = new String();

String str8 = new String();

String str9 = new String();

String str10 = new String();

String str11 = new String();

String str12= new String();</i>

try to reuse str1, str2, str3, str4...

Check these:

1) str1=a<i>.substring(0,5);

should be str1=a<b><i></b>.substring(0,5);

2) for (int j =0; j><b.length; j++)

here i think you are taking the values from <b>b[]</b> array and check this

for (int j =0; j<b>><</b>b.length; j++)

try to execute one by one for loop then you will know in which you are getting error.

Hi,

First check the length of a(i) that is it feasible to get its substring. Then do a substring of it like:

if (a(i).length() == 5)

str1= a(i).substring(0,5);

Do this thing for every str field.

You have an extra zero in all fields - this is wrong. While checking the condition in IF statement - put that many zeros according to length of str field. Like length of str1 is 5 so compare str1 with "00000". Do this thing for all str fields.

Then your UDF will run.

Hi,

if your req is that any of str1 to str4 is not equal to 0, then add in resultlist, then the below code may help you:

if (!( (str1.equals("000000")) && (str2.equals("00000000")) && (str3.equals("000000")) && (str4.equals("00000000"))))

result.addValue("");

[prabhu_s2]

if non of the strings to be not equal to zero then replace || (or) with && (And). Is this ur req?

[Former Member]

Hi,

you will never get a result for your coding.

If you use NOT you can't use ||. You have to use &&.

(This is boolean algebra!)
