Why does that matter?

Why recreate the wheel?

There are already several Java libraries out that handle Excel read/write functions, one of which is developed by Apache.

Look into Apache's POI, or JExcelApi.

Community,

I need some help developing a regex pattern that will do the following remove all illegal characters from a file name.

I was able to solve this using XPath:

1) evaluate an XPath statement that returns the node in question ("//location[@name='value']")

Community,

If there are any gurus out there paying attention, maybe you can help me out?

Lets say on a .jsp page, I have a button, which when clicked transfers the user to another .jsp page....

Hunter,

When I implemented your solution, the results would be near perfect, expect the last number in the string would actually be the second last number in the list of integers.

I'm not sure...

Hunter,

Changing one line in your algoritm produces the correct result

Change this line:


rangeString += rangeStart + "-" + previousNum;

to this:

HelloWorld,

Thanks for your reply, but I'm not sure you understood the problem at hand.

The task is not to find the start of the range... yes that is very easy to accomplish.
The task is to...

Hey Hunter,

Thanks for your input, your solution does seem slightly less convoluted. I wasn't particular happy with my solution based on all the string comparisons and substrings.

I think I've developed an algorithm that accounts for all necessary scenarios.
Any comments are welcomed.

int startOfCurrentRange = channelNums.get( 0 ).intValue();
int lastNumber =...

Thanks for your reply, unfortunately the algorithm you supplied does not account for all scenarios (it assumes that it will always start with a range, but what if the set is [6, 8, 10, 14, 18]).
