Hi,
how can i compare a string which is non null and empty?
i look thru the string methods here, but cant find one which does it? http://docs.python.org/lib/string-me...string-methods
In java,I do this:
if (str != null) && (!str.equals("" )) ....
how can i do that in python? 9  10060  Pl********@gmai l.com schrieb:

Strings cannot be "null" in Python.
If you want to check if a string is not empty, use "if str".
This also includes the case that "str" may not only be an empty
string, but also None.

The closest to null in python is None.
Do you initialise the string to have a value of None? eg myStr = None
if so, you can test with
if myStr == None:
dosomething...
But you might find that you do not need to use None - just initialise
the string as empty eg myStr = ''
and then test for
if myStr != '':
or even simpler
if myStr:
dosomething
btw. dont use 'str' - its a built in function of python
str != ""
returns true if str is NOT the empty string.
str is not None
returns true if str is null (or None as it's called in python).
To check to make sure a string is nonnull and nonempty, do:
str is not None and str != ""

If you want to litterally do that, it's
if (str != None) and (str != ""):
<whatever>
However, the standard idiom for doing that in Python is
if str:
<whatever>

Strings cannot be "null" in Python.
If you want to check if a string is not empty, use "if str".
I tried that, and I get something unexpected.
>>if str:

.... else:

What's going on here?
This also includes the case that "str" may not only be an empty
string, but also None.
What about the case where str hasn't been shadowed and is a built-in type?
>>str
<type 'str'>

1/ don't use 'str' as an identifier as it will shadow the builtin str type.
2/ just test:
if some_str:
# code here
In a boolean context, both the None object (the closer equivalent to
Java's 'null') and an empty string will eval to False (FWIW, so will do
an empty list, an empty tuple, an empty set, an empty dict, and a
numeric zero).
FWIW, Python allows (and encourage where it makes sens) operator
overloading. cf: http://docs.python.org/ref/specialnames.html

I've got different result when comparing two strings
using "==" and string.Compare().
The two strings seems to have same value "1202002" in
the quick watch, and both have the same length 7 which I
have tried to print out by debug.writeline().
But the "==" operator results false, and string.Compare()
results true.
Somebody helps me!

Hi,
For two stl strings s1 and s2, I got different results from
strcmp(s1.c_str(), s2.c_str())
and
s1.compare(s2)
can someone explain what these functions do? It seems that strcmp
gives the "right" (i.e.wysiwyg) answer while compare() does not.
