The patterns will vary a bit. One will be a persons name in the form of either "lastname" or "lastname MI". Another might be a number in the form of "3.00" (no quotes on any of them of course). I'm trying to help my son out a bit w/ an assignment (and no, I'm not doing it for him). I got my
SCJP a couple of years ago, got to work on one Java project at work, and since then I've been stuck in PERL.
So unfortunately, I'm a little rusty w/ Java.
Thanks,
