[Advanced-java] Strings

[Singh, Shiv P.]

The output looks fine from the information what you have provided. 

The following method always will return -1 for the string you are testing
with as it does not contain "."

  loc.indexOf(".") == -1

It would be helpful if you told us what you expected to see as the output.

The varaible 'name' would seem to contain "F2HX\r\n\r\n". As you don't show
us how you got name I don't think I can help much further. Try calling doing
name = name.trim().
