How about " TO " as the delimiter? > The action taken by the QueryParser would depend on the type of field we > were using (if that were an easy change).

Or, what about this: try to parse it as a date as above, using a DateFormat. If that fails, try to parse it as a number. I still want to see Date and Number fields supported as basic types in the Field class, rather than "use a String in this magic date format". -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
