I came across this in the Java Docs, in my ever growing attempt to learn Java. I needed to implement custom listener events.

If you have ever written a website or java application where people paste stuff in from Word, you are likely to have hit the problem of Word using high ascii chars for "open quotes", "close quotes", reg symbol, etc...

This java class (with a single static method) can replace the most prevalent of these with normal ascii values

Hope it helps someone...

Copy a file to a new location, optionally marking the file as a temporary file (to be deleted on application exit).

Note there are issues for temporary files - not all the parent directories that might be created are guaranteed to be deleted - only the immediate parent directory will be deleted on exit if created. Other higher-level directories will not be deleted, even if the file is marked as temporary.
