Why won't this statement compile?

Projects Programming

if (inputString.substring(51, 53) !* ",,") {

I get a "Compilation error: expected ")" before "!" token".

If I switch the "!*" operator for "==" or "<" for example, it works.

if (inputString.substring(51, 53) == ",,") {

compiles.

Can't figure out what the difference could be...

did you mean "!=" instead?? not equal..

Oh my. The characters on my printed "Programming Cheat Sheet" are so small, I misread the "=" for "*". :blush:

Thanks!
