You could also use:
String.indexOf(String s)
or
String.startsWith(String s)
or
http://jakarta.apache.org/regexp/
for full blown pattern matching..

Subject: matching strings in java
Hi, Again
another quick question on string matching I know I can use
string1.equalsIgnoreCase(string2) and this is true if they match completly
but how I match just part of a string i.e,
a list with
blue;
black;
green;
and I wanted to match the string "bl" it would match blue and black and if I
wanted to match will "e" I would get blue and green
cheers Nik
