I've got java-code in my .jsp to show/hide a button.
If a given string starts with '-' (negative) or is equal to "0.00" then hide pay-button.

The code looks like this:

IF (string == "0.00" || string.substring(0,1) = "-" {hide the button;}

Evaluation strings in this way doesn't seem to work...

Suggestions please! I know, rtfm, but thanks anyway....

Solution: if (string.substring(0,1).equals("-" ....

This works fine!

Nakhba

can anyone please tell me how to store the contents of a string while ignoring the last 4 characters using ASP w/VBscript?

thanks
