that can be found in first, middle, end of the word...

Have a look at the contains(...) method in the String class (ps: in case you are worried, CharSequence is just an Interface implemented by all Strings)

To check whether a string starts or end with a particular pattern of strings u can use

startsWith(String prefix)
Tests if this string starts with the specified prefix.
boolean startsWith(String prefix, int toffset)
Tests if this string starts with the specified prefix beginning a specified index.

to check for string ending with a particular pattern

boolean endsWith(String suffix)
Tests if this string ends with the specified suffix.


To check in middle you have to use a substring function to extract the particular pattern and then compare it....

Hope it might help u a lil bit....

Not true. Use contains(...)

u can check out all the string function here

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/lang/String.html

This link is to the Java 1.3 documentation, which is years out of date!
The language was very significantly updated in version 1.5.
Google your way to 1.5 or (even better) 1.6 docs.

Not true. Use contains(...)
