    Thanks for the suggestion.  I'm already doing something

"." and ".E-3").



Perhaps you may optimize your regexp then?

Ciao,

The Javadoc for valueOf(String) in java.lang.Double, at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/index.html, contains sample code
for regular expression screening of the input string.
