How to compare two Strings in java without considering spaces? -

i have 1 example.

public class test {     public static void main(string[] args) {         string a="vijay kakade";         string b="vijay    kakade";         if(a.equalsignorecase(b)){             system.out.println("yes");         }else{             system.out.println("no");         }     } } 

i need check these strings without considering spaces. how achieve this? how ignore spaces in strings when compare them?

you can try create new string replacing empty spaces.

if(a.replaceall("\\s+","").equalsignorecase(b.replaceall("\\s+",""))) {    // take care of spaces tabs etc. } 

then compare.
