Then it > starts detecting the second date but also there is no record for it in the > map yet(as there is a value in the map only when the state is a starting > state, in other words a condition that is not satisfying any state), so it > assumes the starting index is "0". > > Thats why for example if there is an intermediate token between the two > dates, it will work fine. > > The solution is simply to put a record in the map before resetting the > FSM. > so this line should be put "tokenStartMap.put(fsm, new Integer(i));". > > Hope this will help :) > > -- > Thanks and best Regards, > > Shady AbdelAziz
