Hi,
I was hoping some one may be able to help me. I am trying to get a piece of
code to work, which I thought I had right. But as far as I can tell, it does
not do anything when I run it in jBuilder.
I want to make sure the string that is collected from Keyboard.getString is
a upper case letter and the total length of the string is 8 characters long.

int len;
boalean validName = true;

aa = Keyboard.getString();
     while (!aa.equals("ZZZ"))
     {
        do
        {
            len = partNumber.length();
           {
                if  (!len == 8)
               {
                     validName = false
                }
           }
       }
         while (validName = false)

        do
       {
           for (int index = 0; index <2; index ++)
          {
               if (aa.substring(index,index+1) <"A" \\
(aa.substring(index,index+1) >"Z")
              {
                  validName = false;
              }
         }
     }
     while (validName = false)

    do
   {
        for (int index = 1; index <3; index ++)
      {
            if (aa.substring(index,index+1) <"0" \\
(aa.substring(index,index+1) >"100")
           {
                 validName = false;
           }
     }
 }
 while (validName = false)

            partIn[index] = new Part();
            partIn[index].setPartNumber(partNumber);
}

rest of code.

thanks
