Can't make text equal string

Question

I can't make my string entireFileText test to see if it is the same as Email. I think I'm missing something...

if(entireFileText == Email) { JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(frame, "Welcome back!", "Confirmation", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE); }else{ System.out.println("oops"); }

You must write this code `entireFileText.equals(Email)` instead of `entireFileText==Email` — Afsun Khammadli, Apr 30 '15 at 16:32

entireFileText.equals(Email)

check contents instead of string references.
