java - Creating a poll system using PircBot -

i'm new java , i'm trying create poll system using pircbot. far code this:

if (message.startswith("!poll")) {     string polly = message.substring(6);     string[] vote = polly.split(" ");     string vote1 = vote[0];     string vote2 = vote[1]; } 

which splits strings can type !poll "option1 option2" example , split vote1 = option1 , vote2 = option2.

i'm kind of lost here. heading in right direction creating voting system?

i figure i'd have separate statement follows.

 if (message.equalsignorecase("!vote " + option1)) 

but i'm not sure go either.
