Parsing string and simple calculation

[sapina007]

Hello!

I am trying to find a .jar that has method that takes String, egg.

"3.7+(3.12-8)^2+1"

and returns a result of that Mathematical expression as a number (Double).

This kind of code could be written, but I'm short on time, so is there free jar for something like this?

Thanks!

I have found some online, and if you search enough, you could probably find it.

You'd think they'd include this in the standard java package, but its not there.

Thanks for the info. Could you post some links, please?

JavaScript has eval method. It has no "^" operator. You can take a look at JS support here.

In the other case you can use tools like ANTLR or JavaCC to write your own parser.
