I am a newbie to java and html parsing although I have done lex/yacc
compilers before. I am trying to leech any http link from a given file
be it a proper 'http://www.....' or just a reference like
'/somedierctory/..../stuff' .... For now I plan on running quick tests

When I try to use the code below on a machine the software was developed on,
the code cannot find the following file (which should be a "standard" java
color profile in the local cmm directory.  Does anyone have a clue what I'm
doing wrong?

Would it be fair to compare the following technologies to each other:
Jini vs CORBA vs .NET remoting vs. DCOM vs. web services vs. Java RMI?
Thanks,

Dear programmers,
I am having the following message whenever I do a massive retrieve of

Suppose a stream contains text and binary data. The text will describe how
many bytes to read as binary data before switching back to reading text.
It appears Java provides no library upon which to reasonably build this
functionality!

I need to use Java to read, parse and process a fixed length text file.  The
data fields are fixed, such that field1 starts at 0 and is N bytes long,
field2 starts at 20 and is N bytes long, etc. etc.  Some fields are long and
will span multiple rows. There could even be breaks ...

Eclipse is giving me context sensitive help (i.e. tooltips in the editor)
