Normally in J2SE, one would use the contains() method found in the String class to verify whether the value of a particular string is present in another string.
For e.g., String a = "ecta"; and String b = "expectation";
The contains method can be easily used to verify whether the value of a is present in b in J2SE.
But I think that this method is omitted in J2ME. It is unavailable.
So how do I get through this problem in J2ME?

Thanks for the reply.

String.contains() wasn't added to J2SE until 1.5. It's really just a convenience, it's technically redundant. CLDC generally contains only things you really need.

In CLDC (and J2SE, prior to 1.5), you would use String.indexOf(String).

boolean b = s.contains(t);

becomes:

boolean b = (s.indexOf(t) >= 0);
