Probably the fastest way is to convert it to an array of characters and then
step through them comparing as you go. Something like this:
public boolean testIt () {
String authorization = rs.getString("CUOPTN");
char[] auth = authorization.toCharArray();
for(int i = 0;i < auth.length;i++) {
if(auth[i] == 'X') {
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
Hope this helps.
