I have a text file with this structure:
CRIM:Continuius
ZN:Continuius
INDUS:Continuius
CHAS:Categorical
NOX:Continuius
I inserted it into a two dimensional array:
BufferedReader description = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fullpath2));
String[][] desc;
desc = new String[5][2];
String[] temp_desc;
String delims_desc = ":";
String[] tempString;
for (int k1 = 0; k1 < 5; k1++) {
String line1 = description.readLine();
temp_desc = line1.split(delims_desc);
desc[k1][0] = temp_desc[0];
desc[k1][1] = temp_desc[1];
}
and then tried to identify which attribute is Categorical:
String categ = "Categorical";
for (int i=0; i<5; i++){
String temp1 = String.valueOf(desc[i][1]);
if ("Categorical".equals(desc[i][1])){
System.out.println("The "+k1+ " th is categorical.");
}
}
Why doesn't it return true
, although one of the attributes is categorical?
Looking at the input you posted (in the edit perspective ), I saw there is a lot of trailing whitespace on almost every line of the textfile. Your problem will disappear if you replace
desc[k1][1] = temp_desc[1];
with
desc[k1][1] = temp_desc[1].trim();
You could even shorten your code to
for (int k1 = 0; k1 < 5; k1++) {
String line1 = description.readLine().trim();
desc[k1] = line1.split(delims_desc);
}
Clarification:
You are trying to compare
"Categorical" // 11 characters
with
"Categorical " // more than 11 characters
and those are not equal strings.
