The hotspot server JVM has specific code-path optimizations
# which yield an approximate 10% gain over the client versi         


        

Answer 1

this is pseudo code that follows the kind of logic you would want to be able to accomplish this task.

flag = false
inside a loop
{
 read in a line
 if( line != #############HDK1001############# && flag == false){  //check to see if you found your starting place
    nothing useful here. lets go around the loop and try again

  else // if i found it, set a flag to true
     flag = true;

  if( flag == true) // am i after my starting place but before my end place?
  {
    if( line == #############HDK1001#############) 
       do nothing and go back through the loop, this line is not useful to us

    else if( line ==  #############HDK7564#############) //did i find my end place?
      flag = false // yes i did, so lets not be able to assign stuff any more

    else // im not at the start, im not at the end. I must be inbetwee. lets read the data and assign it. 
      read in the lines and assign it to variables that you want
 }
