So each element in a ByteArray can hold 8 bits. What about the readInt() method of the ByteArray, does an integer then span over 4 elements of the bytearray. And if I start at position 0 and then call the readInt(), is the position after that then 4? Jiri Kerry Thompson wrote: Jiri wrote:

Jiri, if() isn't too bad, especially since you will possibly want to permit multiple restrictions (like numbers /and/ letters, or Latin letters plus umlauts). If you use if() and combine that with appending to the restriction instead of setting it (+= instead of =), you gain flexibility. That way,
