string and indexOf troubles

[jamert]

I con't figure this simpleton out,

any thoughts,

string Equ = "<0.6";
if (Equ.IndexOf("<") < 0 || Equ.IndexOf(">") < 0)
{
// it gets here, don't want it to get here ?
}

Thanks

Equ.IndexOf(">") < 0

That line is returning false. Look at your input string

thanks for the pointers:

if (Equ.IndexOf("<") < 0)
{
//something
}
else if (Equ.IndexOf(">") > 0)
{
//something
}
else
{
// end up here, perfect!
}


is there a more elegant way to display this? thanks again

if ((Equ.IndexOf("<") >= 0) || (Equ.IndexOf(">") >= 0))
{
//The Equ string contains a < or a >
}

Is this what you're going for?

this might be a little easier to read

string input = "<.06";
if(input.StartsWith("<") || input.StartsWith(">"))
{
   //do something;
}
