Let me see if I can put this specification correctly, I like to extract a date value and some text by reading lines from a text file. I want to start reading the line from a specfied position and read upto a certain position. Like the substring funtion and convert the
string into a data value, then do some calculation with that date value.
Secondly what to do if I need to make this as an application which is running all the time on my PC and only crops up or bring up a dialogue box what a certain condition is met, e.g. if the date value is less sysdate-5.
Do i need to use jframe, jdialogue etc. to make the application.
Your help will be very appreciated.
regards.
