check string for different criteria

Hi newsgroup,

not only that I have some trouble with my ArrayLists, I also need to check
Strings.

The problem is that I will have to check around 100 string if they meet the
specific criteria as follows:

XXX-000000

which means they have to start with three capital letters followed by a
hyphen and a six-digit number.

If anyone knows anything, I would be really thankful.

Once again best regards

Frank
