Peter,
You have been out of Java for a while haven't you. :) Anyway, check out this URL in reference to "regular expressions". Lot's of links to several perl-like, regex packages for Java (listed below).

Subject: Re: Absolute frustration
Thanks to everyone who answered my plea for help. The .equals and the
.equalsIgnoresCase were very helpful suggestions solving a number of problems.
The strange approach, coming from a Perl standpoint (and if you've written Per,
Perl can't be considered normal), to radio buttons was confusing. I now
understand what is occurring with the radio buttons and their values. I have
been away from Java for a number of months and this was my first time to write a
servlet so some things are different and rusty. One thing Java could use is a
good regular expression capability, but Javascript or calling a Perl script from
a servlet will probably work just as well, maybe not as pretty but work
nonetheless.
Thanks again.
