How to convert string to boolean

[prajwala]

If i want to convert string value in boolean then how can i do this?
For example : am passing arguments "true" or "false" into the parameter.According to the value (true/false) user entered, it should show me 0 /1.


Thanks ,

here is an example of converting from strings to boolean values


String val = "true";
boolean ok = Boolean.parseBoolean(val) ;


Cheers,

pls note parseBoolean is available only in java5 for prev versions u have to go through this
boolean ok = Boolean.valueOf(val).booleanValue();
