I have a requirement to filter out a string if it contains non-basic latin charactors and non-currency symbols.

I found 2 unicode blocks, one is \P{InBasic Latin}, the other one is \P{InCurrency Symbols}, which means non-basic latin and non-currency respectively.

But how do I combine them into a single regex string? like \P{InBasic Latin}&&\P{InCurrency Symbols}?

Thank you guys! I got it. Jesper is right. Java printed my local time and took summer time into consideration.

Actually my Java program was wrapped into another main program, and it took care of the time thing. That's why I had the confusion.

Thanks

Hi,

My program runs on one remote unix machine. And I use


to get the timestamp. But weird thing is it prints out a very strange value, different from the output using the date command on unix.

When issue a date command on bash, it prints: Fri Aug 10 01:51:21 GMT 2007

But java program prints: 2007-08-10 15:51:07.372

My local time is: 2007-08-10 16:51:00

Why java gave me such a strange value which is different from either the remote server time and my local time?

Thanks

Hi all,

I'm using eclipse, and I have a huge amount of log info on the eclipse console, but it just flashed away. I'm not able to track the previous log. So is there something like eclipse console log file which records all these log information? or where and how can I do the settings?

Thanks

    Yeah, I really need those primitive ints, seems I have no choice but write a little loop.
    16 years ago
    The thing is like this: I have a method which has int[] as its return value (the method signature cannot be changed), but in the implementation of this method, I found very hard to define the length of this return value until the end. So I used List to contain return values first and thinking I could extract this list to the int[] and return. But I didn't find any existing method for doing so, I mean converting Integer List to int[]. What I did now is write a separate method to interate over Integer list and construct the int[] to return.

    Is there any convenient method there for me to use? Because I feel a little embarrassed to write this conversion like code.
    16 years ago
    I have the instruction saying that in the find method, Field n in the database file is described by criteria[n].

    Does that mean field 1 (the first column) is described by criteria[1]? Or field 0 (the first column) is described by criteria[0]? My understanding as of now is field 1 is described by criteria[1], which means criteria[0] will be no use to me, right?

    I think I should get my understanding right because they might use some automatic test tools for testing this method. Or can I also write this on my choices doc? But the automatic testing results will vary from those 2.

    Any ideas? Thanks.
    I think just keep your solution as simple as possible will do the thing as it is stated in my instructions though mine is not Urlybird.
    Thank you Frank and Ilja for your replies.

    Yes, I'm always wandering on making the class singleton. Sometimes I did, but later I found it is really not necessary to do so, and changed it to the "just create one" solution.
    Yeah, I will keep it simple since the instructions said this system is just a learning experience before going on to a web based system and didn't expect much reuse.

    A simple solution is preferred.
