CRC in java

[Paul Mackie]

I'm doing an university project on sending files over a network and I need to get a CRC from a string of text. I was wondering if anyone out there can help me with this
Thanks

Using the CRC32 class is one way.

import java.util.zip.CRC32;
public class CrcTest
{
   public static void main(String[] arg)
   {
       CRC32 crc = new CRC32();
       String s = "Now is the time for \nall good men to come to the aid\nof their county";
       crc.update(s.getBytes());
       System.out.println(s);
       System.out.println(crc.getValue());
   }
}

Hope This Helps

Thanks. I didn't know such a class existed
