Extracting a char from a string in java

TowerMan

Hi All,

I would imagine that this is fairly straight foward but what I am tryin to do is compare two strings and depending on the outcome change the value in one string to the character value in another string

This is the code I am trying

if (number[i].charAt(0) != node.charAt(0))
   {

    //Hope to replace node with the first char in number[i]

   node = number[i].substring(0);

   System.out.print(node);

   }

But for input such as 34 for number, when I print out node it is also 34. I have tired replace and changing the types to char arrays and then back again and it just falls over.

Any suggestions would be great.

So....for input of 34, you want node to hold 3? Is that right?

If so...node = number.substring(0,0);
