    Default Re: counter not incrementing within for loop - please help!!!

    doesn't seem to be incrementing within the program
    Is the counter++; statement ever executed? If not, then the value of counter will stay at 0.
    Add a call to println() next to that statement to see if it is ever executed.

    You should use the equals() method to compare the contents of objects like Strings, not the == operator.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
