Awesome.
Okay, here is my code (sans the aforementioned part above):
I am working with a vector of string vectors, everything (surprisingly!) is working good with the vectors, but I want to search for a value in the inner vectors, a name string.
CODE
//Vector of vectors
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class VectorStack
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String inName;
Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
Vector<String> emp1 = new Vector<String>(4);
Vector<String> emp2 = new Vector<String>(4);
Vector<String> emp3 = new Vector<String>(4);
Vector<String> emp4 = new Vector<String>(4);
Vector<String> emp5 = new Vector<String>(4);
Vector<String> emp6 = new Vector<String>(4);
Vector<String> emp7 = new Vector<String>(4);
Vector<String> emp8 = new Vector<String>(4);
Vector<Vector> empData = new Vector<Vector>(8);
emp1.addElement("Shane Andrews");
emp1.addElement("252-333-4567");
emp1.addElement("252-333-4567");
emp1.addElement("252-444-5678");
emp2.addElement("Bob Cline");
emp2.addElement("252-343-4567");
emp2.addElement("252-343-4567");
emp2.addElement("252-434-5678");
emp3.addElement("Steve Carlton");
emp3.addElement("252-333-4227");
emp3.addElement("252-353-4447");
emp3.addElement("252-447-5980");
emp4.addElement("Jason Jameston");
emp4.addElement("245-433-4567");
emp4.addElement("245-433-4557");
emp4.addElement("245-433-2348");
emp5.addElement("Justin Webb");
emp5.addElement("152-333-4067");
emp5.addElement("212-300-4167");
emp5.addElement("252-414-5675");
emp6.addElement("Rich Fisher");
emp6.addElement("272-343-9561");
emp6.addElement("272-343-4007");
emp6.addElement("272-774-5678");
emp7.addElement("Ronda Ervin");
emp7.addElement("259-305-3127");
emp7.addElement("259-353-4337");
emp7.addElement("259-407-5080");
emp8.addElement("Jimbo Reale");
emp8.addElement("637-433-4567");
emp8.addElement("637-020-4500");
emp8.addElement("637-433-1148");
empData.addElement(emp1);
empData.addElement(emp2);
empData.addElement(emp3);
empData.addElement(emp4);
empData.addElement(emp5);
empData.addElement(emp6);
empData.addElement(emp7);
empData.addElement(emp8);
System.out.print("Enter the name of the employee: ");
inName = console.next();
for(int x = 0; x < empData.size(); x++)
{
if(empData.elementAt(x).contains(inName)) //DOES NOT WORK WITH THIS VARIABLE...WHY NOT?
{
System.out.println("has");
System.out.println(empData.elementAt(x));
}
else
System.out.println("has not");
}
}
}
Now, when I manually enter one of the names (e.g. Bob Cline) in the section
CODE
if(empData.elementAt(x).contains(inName))
the program runs fine. But if I leave it with the reference to the user entered value (inName) as above, the if statement never finds what I enter. The else statement always executes, which at least tells me that the code structure is good.
My original question was so that I can make this findName function be performed by a void method.
Thanks,
Shane
