See if the current time falls within a specific range of time in the current day in Java

Question

I am sure this was done 1000 times in 1000 different places. The question is I want to know if there is a better/standard/faster way to check if current \"time\" is between

Answer 1

As pointed out by Kevin, Fuzzy Lollipop's Regex won't pick up times between 14:00 and 19:00.

To get match a full 24 hour clock, you can use this:

if (hhmmss.matches("^([0-1][0-9]|2[0-3]):([0-5][0-9]):([0-5][0-9])$"))
{
    // Do stuff here
}
