Matcher class or pattern class

I have written a Java utility program to do this, Java 1.4 with a small
Swing interface. It was written for my own use so you might find it
somewhat quirky but I'd be happy to email it to you if you want to use
it or mod it.

Did you look at the code I replied to your previous post?

I wish I'd looked at it before I wrote my utility program - I did it the
hard way, capturing the output from a "dir" command and checking each
file line by line.

That's what I like about Java, there's always a better way to do things,
you can always improve yourself :)

I've been writing java code since 1.0 and I learn new stuff every day.
I really like to prowl the news groups and see other folks solutions to
problems.
