hi reposter!
java is pretty much like c syntax, so don't think there are any things
built into the lang for parsing dates.
There is a special class for URLs, that checks validity:
try {
myurl = new URL("http://blah.com")
} catch (MalormedURLException e) {
System.out.println("malformed url error!");
}
Java also has a built in string class, so that makes things a lot easier than c:
str = new String("fred");
str = str + " flintstone";
What you need sounds like something a lot of other people could use too,
maybe there's a thrid party class out there, or you could be the man to
make one - but not being a perlhead, might i suggest something using the
roman alphabet this time ;-) ?
