Question by BlueChicken · Oct 16, 2015 at 10:36 PM · stringtextassetfalsestring comparison

String.Equals returning false?

Hey, I see that someone asked something like that, but I think my problem is different.

So:

  1. I have a TextAsset named teste.

  2. the first line of this .txt file is "title"

And I have this function:

 void updateText(){
     string[] lines = teste.text.Split('\n');
     foreach (string line in lines){
         if (line.Equals("title")) {
             //Do something
         }
         Debug.Log(line);
     }
 }

Even that Debug.Log is returning to me title, but that if statement is always returning false and I don't understand why. Care to help?

I've tried checking both strings lengths and line whas 6 long while "title"whas 5 long. But after adding '\n' to "title", still doesn't work

You can try removing extra whitespace by using the Trim() function.

 if (line.Trim().Equals("title")) {

If the length is different, this is almost certainly your issue. An extra space, newline, tab, etc.

Right, if it's a "normal" txt file created on windows each line is seperated by a carriage return (\r) followed by a line feed (\n). Since the text is split on the line feed character the "\r" would be still there at the end of the line.

Thanks a lot, guys! I'll try your suggestions as soon as I can. I'll be back with the results.

It worked! That \r probably was messing things up. Thanks a lot!

You could try:

if (string.Compare(line, "title") == 0) //Do things
