It sounds like you're already doing the detective work, so I'll leave it to you. >I seriously must wonder if this is a distinction between AIX and Unix or >whether instead what we are looking at is not a locale-specific variation in >how dates are rendered.

If that is the case, then the naming of these classes is >problematical. It sounds like these variations can all be handled by one class. The locale stuff should be configurable and in the short term, the special case of dd-MM-yyyy vis a vis MM-dd-yyyy can be handled by a modified regular expression and an if statement or two. If that's the only difference between AIXFTPEntryParser and UnixFTPEntryParser, then it's my fault for having added the code submission instead of incorporating the functionality into UnixFTPEntryParser. daniel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
