Hi,

Can anyone tell me what is the problem with the below code:

String eleSrc=srcEle.toString();
      String srcdata_list[]=eleSrc.split("-");
      String eleDest=destEle.toString();
      String destdata_list[]=eleDest.split("-");
      int found=0;
      for(int i=0;i<srcdata_list.length;i++)
      {
         for(int j=0;j<destdata_list.length;i++)
         {
            if(srcdata_list[i].equals(destdata_list[j]))
            {
               found++;
               System.out.println("matches");
               System.out.println("after matches");
               break;
            }
            else
            {
               System.out.println("in else");
               
            }
         }
         System.out.println("out of first for lopp");
        if(found==0)
        {
           System.out.println("Not found..appending to list");
           missingEle.append(srcdata_list[i]);
        }
            
      }

It prints the following O/P:


matches
after matches
out of first for lopp
in else
in else

Why is it not going out of the first for loop????

Line 8 increments i, should be j?

Line 8 increments i, should be j?

Thanks James, It's working now but now I/m stuck with another problem. :(

If the contents in the array srcdata_list is not found in destdata_list, then that content should be appended to the string buffer(from line 24).

Why is not?? Anu idea??

Hey I got it !!!
guess it was a rookie mistake.
Posting the correct code.

String eleSrc=srcEle.toString();
      String srcdata_list[]=eleSrc.split("-");
      String eleDest=destEle.toString();
      String destdata_list[]=eleDest.split("-");
      int found=0;
      
      for(int i=0;i<srcdata_list.length;i++)
      {
         done:for(int j=0;j<destdata_list.length;j++)
         {
            if(srcdata_list[i].equals(destdata_list[j]))
            {
               found++;
               System.out.println("matches");
               break done;
            }
            else
            {
               found=0;//this was missing
               System.out.println("in else");
               
            }
         }
         System.out.println("found= "+found);
         System.out.println("out of first for lopp");
        if(found==0)
        {
           System.out.println("Not found..appending to list");
           countMatches(1);
           missingEle.append(srcdata_list[i]);
        }
            
      }
