If you're using CSV files, you could use `CSVReader`, a part of OpenCSV: http://opencsv.sourceforge.net/apidocs/au/com/bytecode/opencsv/CSVReader.html – Isaac May 30 '14 at 03:28

it could be that the java string == operator checks for more than if the text is the same, as described here:
String comparison with logical operator in Java
what does it do if you use the string equals() method ? http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#equals(java.lang.Object)
