Transfer command line args[] to String array

[Thomas Markl]

Hello,
I want to transfert command line args[] to String array:
public class Test114 {

public static void main(String args[]) {

String s[] = args[];
if (s.equals(null))
{
System.out.println("s is null");
}else
{
System.out.println("s is not equal");
}
}
}
I get this compiler error:
C:\Java\EigeneJavaProgramme>javac Test114.java
Test114.java:5: '.class' expected
String s[] = args[];
^
Test114.java:5: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class args
location: class Test114
String s[] = args[];
^
Test114.java:5: unexpected type
required: value
found : class
String s[] = args[];
^
3 errors
Whats the mistike in line 5?
Thanks
Thomas

hi,
the correct assignment statement at line 5 is
String s[] = args;
Also this does not mean copying args to s.
thks,
Chinmay.

String s[] = args[];  

You need to remove the brackets from args[] in that statement. It should look like this:

String s[] = args;  

[Layne Lund]

The only way s will be null is if args is null. I don't think args is ever null. If there are no command line arguments args is an array of length 0. Of course, I may be incorrect about this...

String [] s=args[] //it's wrong~~
String [] s=arg; //that didnt copy Array arg to
s
i prefer to use a loop to copy element from one
array to another
