I can't figure this out - new to java, but code appears to be ok.

I'm looking for a string within lines of text returned from a system
command.  I get all the output back - no problem.  But when I try to
do something based on indexOf, it always returns true:

Here is output from System.out.println statements showing the text
does *not* exist in the output (and another example showing it does)

Here is the code to search for it.  On

int tf = 0;
boolean textfound = false;

// Loop through lines of text with Try and readLine...
{
tf = inputLine.indexOf("FINDTHISSTRING");
System.out.println(tf);

if ( tf > -1 );
    {
       textfound = true;
    }
}

I also tried " tf == 0 ".
