there's a string command... you can do a simple for loop and go letter by letter. i think its like this:

String str = "im beautiful"
char c = 'i'

then do :
for i --> length
if str.charAt[place] == c .....blah

Sorry, this doesn't help much... I am bad with programming.. just beginning..

But, the what I am trying to do is this:

if someone gives me a string: ex. "Hello"

I want to put this string into an array: H-e-l-l-o so that I can compare each letter for each array aposition to see if it does appear and then to see if it appears once...

Do you know the basics of loops? If so, use a for loop. Then look up the length(), charAt() and compareTo(), equals() or equalsIgnoreCase() methods in the String class.

: okie let get it clear,

here how:

// an integer to hold length of your string
int tmpI = 0;
boolean found = false;
// loop through the string you have
for (tmpI = 0; tmpI <= yourStr.length() - 1; tmpI++){
// comparing the character and the 1 you wanna compare to, if that is CHARACTER!!! else use "yourStr.equalsIgnoreCase(<yourAnotherStr>)"
  if (yourStr.charAt(tmpI) == yourChar){
// get it!
    found = true;
    break;
  }
}

if (found == true)
  System.out.println("\tFound the character at: " + tmpI + ", Character: " + yourStr.charAt(tmpI));
else
  System.out.println("\tNot found!");
