criteriaFind()

[fengqiao cao]

hi, everyone
i am stuck in the criteriaFind().
could you give me some hints?
//some codes from my criteraFind()
outer:for (int r = 1; r <= recordCount; r++){
values = readRecord();
middle:for(int a=1;a<V.size();a+=2){
found= false;

for( int i=0;i<description.length;i++){
if (values[i].equals(V.get(a))){
found=true;
System.out.print("ok");//line 2
break;
}
}
continue middle;
}

if(found){
recordContainer.add(new DataInfo(r, description, values));
}
continue outer;}
//******
V is a vector which holds the object that originate from tokenizing "criteria".
RecorderContainer is an Arraylist which holds records matching criteria.
could you let me know why it can't never reach line2? Am i on the right track?
Thanks in advance....
Note: for the moment i just compare the values.

if (values[i].equals(V.get(a))){

you are using the equals method, which I believe returns true when they are the same Object, that is returns the same "Hashcode"
so you have a values array comparing against a "Object" that returns from a Vector. Hmm. sounds like it will never be equal to me. But I could be wrong.

In criteria string you may not have all the field names.So Don't you think before checking for equality of values you need to check the fieldnames.

hi, Mark and Mathew
Thanks for your reply, and i really appreciate it.
It is ok that an objcet from Vecton compare with a string.
Also now i am just tryint to make comparing values work and then i will compare the fieldname as well.
Any hint?
