comparing one element of an array to another

[tziviak]

I have an array and I'm trying to compare letter by letter to another array. the .equals accepts an object so in order to compare I'm trying to swith one element of the array to a string and then to compare it. I would appreciate if you can help me since I'm a beginner

my code:

String let;
let=new String (toString(letters));
if (bef[x].equals(let))
break;

how can I get it to compare bef[x] to letters

Does buf[x] contain an array of chars?

if let is a String, you can use let.toCharArray to return an arrar of chars, and then loop through this comparing agains each element in buf[].
