Message:

use StringTokenizer

Posted by Bobby S. on August 01, 2001 at 11:43 PM

> how would one go about parsing a string and breaking it up based on a delimiter, and add them as elements of an array... say, we have

> I can go about using a while loop to get each one

> int index1 = parent.indexOf(";");
> while (parent.charAt(index1) != -1){
> String element1 = parent.substring(begin,index1);

> and something along those lines. however would i get all the elements from the parent string? and how would I add all these substring elements to a new String array? Or is there a better way of doing this?

use the StringTokenizer class additionally it might help to manipulate strings using the StringBuffer class, another interesting class is StringCharacterIterator. Let me know if the above helped.
