• Assignment:
1. Look at the example code (here).  
2. Write your own class that iimplements the StringFilter interface (here).
3. Name your class "yourname.java".
4. Test it with a main method that reads in a file and runs your methods on it.
5. ONCE YOU ARE SURE IT WORKS in main (I will be running your code as an app. to test this!), then put it into our webcrawler code we are developing in class (here is the latest). 

6. Put your name, date, the class, and the assignment number in comments at the TOP of your source code.
