Simple problem

Mar 5th, 2008

Can someone tell me how to correct this?

 Help with Code Tags 
 Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
for(int i = 0; i < 7; i ++) 
 {
  if(team.group.toys[i].getName().equalsIgnoreCase(name )
      {
        team.insert(team.group.toys[i].getDescrip());
         System.out.println("OK");
       }
}
System.out.println("Is not included.");
for(int i = 0; i < 7; i ++) 
 {
  if(team.group.toys[i].getName().equalsIgnoreCase(name )
      {
        team.insert(team.group.toys[i].getDescrip());
         System.out.println("OK");
       }
}
System.out.println("Is not included.");

This is so simple that I cannot figure out what the problem is. I need "OK" to print if the getName() equals name. If they do not equal print "Is not included".

I normally don't have problems with this but I have swapped and tried everything, I know that is is something simple.

Thank you,

Just to clarify the question, the printing of "Ok" part works fine if the match is found, but you don't want it to also print "not included"?
