Char array not creating String Object

Hi,

I am getting a char[] after executing a DB Stored Proc from Sybase DB . But the value returned is Cha [] instead of String. I understand that string and char[] are same . but that is not the case . When I try to display the string in JTextarea it does not honor the \n . Slso the spilt method of String too does not work.

Can some one help me to convert this char[] to pure String object when I can apply all the String methods like spilt() , index of etc

Regards

String has constructors that use a char array.

You are confusing Java with C.

In C, a string (note the lower case) is a char[] with '\0' as last element.

In Java, a String is an object that can however be constructed from a char[].
