Compare strings or Integers!!!!!

Hi,

 

     I know how to compare strings and Integers, but i am looking for something like below:

  I have 3 strings :

 

 String str1 =  ' abcd' ;

String  str2 = ' cded' ;

String str3 = ' ==' ; ( This is a oparator and can be any != OR > OR < OR any operator) 

 

Now i need a method or any way to check the above three so that i get a boolean value back based on these three arguments.

 

 

Thanks

Bramha

Does this work for you?

 

public Boolean compare(String str1, String str2, String op) {
	return
		(op == '==' && str1 == str2) || (op == '!=' && str1 != str2) ||
		(op == '>' && str1 > str2) || (op == '<' && str1 < str2);
}

 

Thanks.

Great Snippet! I would have done sth with IF/ELSE, but this is really good! thanks for sharing!
