String comparison solutions in java not working

I know this question has been asked to death but I have tried all solutions that were given to this question and my if statement still doesn't execute.. My code goes like this:

String s = "Something*like*this*";
String[] sarray = s.split("\\*");

for(int i = 0; i < sarray.length; i++) {
  if(sarray[i].equals("this")) {
    //do something
  }
}

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This works as expected indeed

for (String token : "Something*like*this*".split("\\*")) {
    if (token.equals("this")) {
        System.out.println("Found this");
    }
}

The if will execute here.

Test this in drJava interactions pane(or your fav IDE pane), the individual pieces(to check they each work).

Welcome to DrJava.  Working directory is C:\JavaProjects
> String s = "Something*like*this";

> String[] sarray = s.split("\\*");

> sarray[0]

"Something"

> sarray[1]

"like"

> sarray[2]

"this"

> sarray[3]

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

> sarray.length

> 3 

> sarray[1].equals("this")

false
