I believe, right direction is to use regular expressions.

indeed... I think you'll have to run a loop through the string and use the match function....

for(st = new StringTokenizer(string," "); st.hasNextToken();)
{
   String current = st.nextToken();
   if(current.match("//d//d-//d//d-//d//d//d//d")
   {

      //do stuff

   }
}
