public boolean is_uNameRegistered ( String n ) {

I'm trying to compare two strings, the input from the user and the one that is stored on my .txt file ( used as my database ). The problem is it always return as false.

I have this code :


if ( both functions above are true ) {
// some codes
} else {
// prompts incorrect password
}


it always "Incorrect Password".. DDD: somebody help? or suggest another solution?

Refer to your code below :

tokz = new StringTokenizer(dbaseStr);
while ( tokz.hasMoreTokens() ) {
op = tokz.nextToken();
if ( op.equals(n) ) {
return true;
}
}
fin.close();
return false;
} catch ( IOException e ) {
statusTxt.setText("Unable to read from databse.");
}

return false;
}


In the piece of code above , delete both occurrances of the statement : return false


while ( tokz.hasMoreTokens() ) {
op = tokz.nextToken();
if ( op.equals(n) ) {
return true;
}
}
fin.close();
} catch ( IOException e ) {
statusTxt.setText("Unable to read from database.");
}

return false;
}

In the piece of code above delete the statement : return false
