Hello

I have look at this site for some time now getting tidbits of
information and knowledge from the people here, I am new to
programming literally, my background is business but I have been
thrust into java since July.

It has been a very unique experience with only two weeks of training
*S* I have a task where I am trying to validate a file extension to
make sure it is valid.The extension would either be xls, doc, text,
ppt, online/webform and pdf.

Here is the code I have been working with if anyone has any ideas
please help me.
