Hi guys,

Currently i have a java program that does the importing of excel to the
database.

Users are using ant scripts to run the tool.

Users would have to specified something like

<dbField colname="student_id" value="@excelCol1@"/> 
<dbField colname="update_by" value="ADMIN"/> 

Is there any APIs i can use to differentiate between something i
specified using @@ and a normal string?

if (string.startsWith("@") && string.endsWith("@"))

or

if (string.matches("^@.+@$"))

if you want it fancier.

Bart
