Check the format of user entered number java

I want to check whether the user entered double value is in the format XXX.YYY. If it is then it would return true otherwise false. I want to know if its possible to do this with decimalFormat class. People have said to use regex, but that is out of scope for me right now.

try this

    String s = new String("123.456"); // suppose it is string from your file
    String[] splitted  = s.split("\\."); //take the part before and after do in the array , splitted is array of two strings
    if(splitted.lenght == 2 && splitted[0].length() == 3 && splitted[1].length() == 3) // then it is in abc.xyz format

Pure java string solution: 

  public static boolean isValid(String str) {
    if (str == null || str.length() != 7) {
      return false;
    }
    return Character.isDigit(str.charAt(0)) && Character.isDigit(str.charAt(1)) && Character.isDigit(str.charAt(2))
      && str.charAt(3)=='.' && 
      Character.isDigit(str.charAt(4)) && Character.isDigit(str.charAt(5)) && Character.isDigit(str.charAt(6));
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println(isValid("123.456"));
    System.out.println(isValid("12.456"));
    System.out.println(isValid("abc.456"));
  }
