<div>
how about indexOf ?<br />
<br />
String zips = &quot;00101, 44303, 55101&quot;;<br />
<br />
if ( zips.indexOf(&quot;44303,&quot;) &gt;= 0 )<br />
&nbsp; return true;<br />
else<br />
&nbsp; return false;
</div>


how about indexOf ?

String zips = "00101, 44303, 55101";

if ( zips.indexOf("44303,") >= 0 )
  return true;
else
  return false;

<div>
so, a function to do this:<br />
<br />
boolean zipExists(String zipToFind, String zipList)<br />
{<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;if ( zipToFind==null || zipList==null )<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; return false;<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;if ( zipList.indexOf(zipToFind+<wbr />&quot;,&quot;) &gt;= 0 )<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; return true;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;else<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; return false; <br />
}<br />
<br />
boolean rc = zipExists( &quot;44303&quot;, &quot;90210, 44303, &quot;54321&quot; );
</div>


so, a function to do this:

boolean zipExists(String zipToFind, String zipList)
{
   if ( zipToFind==null || zipList==null )
      return false;

   if ( zipList.indexOf(zipToFind+",") >= 0 )
      return true;
   else
      return false;
}

boolean rc = zipExists( "44303", "90210, 44303, "54321" );

Hi Everyone,<br />
<br />
&nbsp; Ok, so I am pulling a String from a database field, that is a comma-delminated list. &nbsp;It's a list of zip codes... so for instance &quot;00101, 44303, 55101&quot;. &nbsp;I need a way to find if a zip is in that list.<br />
<br />
So with the above list, if I searched for 44303, it would come back true, but if I search the above list for 55555, it would come back false.<br />
<br />
&nbsp; I just need to know how to search through that list. <br />
Like in ColdFusion you would just go:<br />
<br />
ListFind(list, valueToSearchFor, delimeter)<br />
<br />
Something along the same lines as that.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

List Find

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
