I need the same logic.. Is it something you can share/ post to the bugzilla?

I just had to whip up a function that might be useful... The situation was that I needed to determine if the current time fell within a given range. The complication is that the range could span a day, i.e., the range might be 2000-0800 (24 hr. times). So I threw together static boolean isTimeInRange(int rangeStart, int rangeEnd, int timeToCheck); ...the idea being that someone would do something like: int now = 100 * new GregorianCalendar().get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY); if (isTimeInRange(800, 2000, now)) { // in range } I'm wondering if that sounds like a good edition to DateUtils? If so, I'll create some overloaded versions (to accept actual Calendars and probably Strings in addition to ints, and mixtures of all three, perhaps 12-hour times too), solidify and clean up the code, throw together a unit test and post it to Bugzilla. Any thoughts? Part of me expects to hear this already exists somewhere, but I didn't find it in DateUtils, which strikes me as the logical place. Thanks all! -- Frank W.
