I've returned with more Java help

Profile · Posted 2010-04-24, 12:59 PM

I'm validating a first name entered into a the java.swing GUI textbox. It must start with Uppercase, follow Lowercase, and no numbers. For some reason one if statement is being ignored for displaying the error messagebox.

Code:

jtext1.addActionListener (
		             new ActionListener() {
		                public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
		 				   string1=jtext1.getText();
		 				   if(!string1.substring(0,1).matches("[A-Z]")){
		 				        errorReport+=errorUpper;
		 				        errorDetect=true;
		       				}
		       				if(!string1.substring(1,string1.length()).matches("[a-z]*")){
		 						errorReport+=errorLower;
		 						errorDetect=true;
		 					}
		 					for (i=0; i<string1.length(); i++){
		 						if (Character.isDigit(string1.charAt(i))) {
		 							errorReport+=errorAlpha;
		 							errorDetect=true;
		 							break;
		 						}
		 					}
		 					if (errorDetect=true){
		 						JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, errorReport);
							}
							errorDetect=false;
							errorReport="Error: ";
		                   jtext2.requestFocus();
		                }
		             }
		          );

Thank you for wasting your time to help me

If(errorDetect==true){

That'll probably sort it.
