in the normal GZIPOutputStream you can not et the compression level. I came across this little script tonight that allows you to set the compression level for GZIPOutputStream.

Deletes all files of a certain extention from a folder.

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...

Another solution recommends using a text match pattern.
This works, but as long as you've got mail.jar in your classpath anyway, you might as well use this technique instead. (Plus, I think it works with older JDK 1.2+, whereas pattern.compile is 1.4+)

Note that it also accepts a comma-separated list of emails, just like a To: or CC: address line would.

What is Dijkstra Algorithm? click on the link above and first understand what the algorithm is all about. in short it calculates the shortest path from A to F or vise versa. This code i can guarantee is the simplest and easiest code to understand. just search on google and try to compare this code and other dijkstra code and you will see what i am talking about. i spent alot of time myself and my instructor to guide me on the rite path.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dijkstra%27s_algorithm(Description)
to see how the algorithm really works go on this website it tells you step by step how to update the cost and which path to choose.
http://renaud.waldura.com/doc/java/dijkstra/
Please give some time to understand the algorithm first and then you can see my code. if you done understand the algorithm it is very useless. i know alot of people need Dijkstra algorithm in java for their HW assignment or Test. i am giving you the solution step by step. anyone who wants to understand please go to the url i have posted above and once you have understand then run the code and for those people who just want to copy so that they can get 90% in their test No Problem Here it is .
First open a notepad and name that file anything like data.txt or datas.txt and make sure the file looks something like this and in this format.
0 3 100 5 100 100 (100 represents infinity)
3 0 6 7 7 100
100 6 0 5 5 3
5 7 5 0 1 100
100 7 5 1 0 2
100 100 3 100 2 0
i name this file as a data.txt file. i have 6 nodes. and A is always the starting node which has the cost of 0 so by looking at the first line i
know that A to A have distance 0, A to B is 3, A to c is Infinity, A to D is 5, A to E is Infinity(means no edge connected with A), A to F is Infinity.
for second line(B to A is 3, and then vise versa) and for the 3rd line it starts for C and etc..
save the txt file by any name and then copy the code which i have posted and then to run type this:
javac routing.java
java routing data.txt
you will get the output. i will say this one more time understand how the algorithm works or ......................

Format Bytes

Recursively delete a directory, emptying all contents.

This is a very convenient way to remove all doubles from a List in Java. The only prerequisite is that the elements in the list have proper equals and hashCode methods.

It work by using the constructor of a Set that takes a Collection as an argument.

I poured the snippet in a little program so can run it straight away.

This routine will get an image stored in a SQL database (IBM Informix shown here) as a BLOB and return it to the screen.

To place this on an HTML page simply add

I have an MD5 hashed version as well, but can't share that...(So you can have encrypted id's passed)

Have fun,

Java properties files can yield undesirable results at runtime, if there happen to be spaces at the end of some lines.

Requires a win32 port for the GNU utilities grep and sed - e.g. http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/.
