Parse and find charater in a stream containing \x ...

[uap12]

I have a textfiles that i read from, one trigger is for a dataline
that lookas like this
dmc \x45\x23\x45\x23\x45\x23\x45\x23\x45\x23\x45\x23\x45\x23\x45\x23

i try to trigger this by
if(sDMC.startsWith("DMC \\x")) {
bDMC = true;
}

But i don't get a hit, i know there is som fuzzy about the line
\x45\x23 ... but i can't do any thing about this, any way to do this ?

best regards
Anders

Perhaps it's just the case-mismatch dmc vs DMC?

You can simplify that to:
boolean bDMC = sDMC.startsWith ("DMC \\x");

Dump out sDMC surrounded in [ ] to make lead blanks more obvious.

do you want the letters DMC on the front? If not take them off.

Responsible Development is the style of development I aspire to now. It can be summarized by answering the question, “How would I develop if it were my money?” I’m amazed how many theoretical arguments evaporate when faced with this question.
