I need to do a compare that will treat 010 the same as 10 (without the
preceeding 0). Do I have to convert to an integer value before comparing
or is there an exsisting method for it (like the equals or the
compareTo)?

Thanks,

Tami

For Example:

String s = "10";
String ss = "010";

When doing:
if(s.compareTo(ss) == 0) {
do something
}
It does not equals 0 now since string s has 2 characters and string ss
has 3. So this compare will not be equals 0.
