java 字符串equals,比较Java中的字符串.equals（）

I'm trying to filter the user's input to make sure its a max of 4 digits and it's not an empty string. Whether I leave it blank or I enter a number, !strInput.equals(null) still comes up true. Am I comparing the string incorrectly?

I also tried: !strInput.equals("") , strInput != null , and strInput != "" though I think it should be .equals(...) since I'm trying to compare values.

private void updateFast() {

String strInput = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "How many?");

if (!strInput.equals(null) && strInput.matches("\\d{0,4}"))

{

//do something

}

else

{

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Error. Please Re-enter");

updateFast();

}

}

解决方案

Change the line:

if (!strInput.equals(null) && strInput.matches("\\d{0,4}"))

To:

if (strInput != null && strInput.matches("\\d{1,4}"))

No need to check if String is empty, the regex checks that.
