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
Use a regular expression: [A-Z]{3}-\d{6}In a Java string literal you have to escape the backslash, so this would become
if ( Pattern.matches("[A-Z]{3}-\\d{6}", theStringToCheck) ) {
// accepted
} else {
// rejected
