AbstractScriptEngine eval() error

[ontherocks]

Below is my code.
I am not sure why am I getting the error
"javax.script.ScriptException: sun.org.mozilla.javascript.internal.EcmaError: ReferenceError: "lcc" is not defined......."

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import javax.script.ScriptEngine;
import javax.script.ScriptEngineManager;
import javax.script.ScriptException;

public class Eval {

        public static void main (String[] args) throws Exception {
	ScriptEngineManager manager = new ScriptEngineManager();
	ScriptEngine engine = manager.getEngineByName("JavaScript");
			         
	System.out.println("Please enter the two numbers separated by commas and press Enter");
	BufferedReader consoleinput = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
	String input = consoleinput.readLine();
	String[] lc = input.split(",");
			  		
	int lclen = lc.length;
					
	for (int i=0;i<lclen;i++)
		{
		String xx = "lcc["+i+"]";
		engine.put(xx, lc[i]);
		}
			  		
		 try 
		 {	   
		 String script = "lcc[0]>lcc[1]";
		Object bol = engine.eval(script);
		System.out.println(bol);
		}
			        
		 catch (ScriptException e) 
		{
		 e.printStackTrace();
		}
}
}

Put an array into dictionary.

...
 engine.put("lcc",lc);			
 String script ="lcc[0]>lcc[1]";
 Object bol = engine.eval(script);
 System.out.println(bol);
 ...

Thanks a lot adatapost. That worked perfectly :icon_smile:

Could I use the same concept of dictionary for a string match with regex

E.g.
String str = "N";
if (str.matches[lc])
{
// do something
}

which means which ever character(s) the user inputs, the program should see if String str matches any of those characters.

Any ideas to my second query?

No. Sorry, I'm not quite following the problem.

I was hoping something like this would work

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;

public class test {

        public static void main (String[] args) throws Exception {
	ScriptEngineManager manager = new ScriptEngineManager();
	ScriptEngine engine = manager.getEngineByName("JavaScript");
			         
	System.out.println("Please enter the two numbers separated by commas and press Enter");
	BufferedReader consoleinput = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
	String input = consoleinput.readLine();
	String[] lc = input.split(",");
        
        String str = "N";
	  		
		  if (str.equals(lc))
                      {
                           System.out.println("Match found");
                      }
}
}
