Setting a variable from an array

What I want to do is loop though the array and when I see 1 particular piece of data I want to set it to a variable. This is what I have so far:
IServicecallCode1Home bldgHome = session.getServicecallCode1Home();
//      Find all possible bldgs of service calls.
IServicecallCode1[] bldgs = bldgHome.findAllServicecallCode1();
for (int i=0; i<bldgs.length; i++)
              System.out.println(i + bldgs[i].getText());
              BufferedReader y = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(System.in));
              try
                     {
                           String s = y.readLine();
                           if (s == "ANY Unable to determine location")
                           {
                                    String NewBuilding = s;
                        }
                   catch (Exception e)
                         {

                         }
sc.setServicecallCode1(NewBuilding);

Where does reading the file come in and why do it for every element in the array?

I was just reading the file to see what was where. I need to find the element text of "ANY Unable to determine location" thats what I really need. then I have to set it in sc.setServicecallCode1(NewBuilding);

I'm still not sure how you want to connect the array and what's in the file

How would I change the if("somefav".equals(bldgs[i])) to only look for the first 3 characters of the string? something like if("ANY%".LIKE(bldgs[i]))
