How do I use StringTokenizer to split a string?
Category: java.util, viewed: 84939 time(s).
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
public class StringTokenizerSample
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
StringTokenizer st =
new StringTokenizer("a stringtokenizer sample");
// get how many tokens inside st object
System.out.println("tokens count: " + st.countTokens());
// iterate st object to get more tokens from it
while (st.hasMoreElements())
{
String token = st.nextElement().toString();
System.out.println("token = " + token);
}
// split a date string using a forward slash as
// delimiter
st = new StringTokenizer("2005/12/15", "/");
while (st.hasMoreElements())
{
String token = st.nextToken();
System.out.println("token = " + token);
}
}
}
The above code is an example of using StringTokenizer to split a string. In the current JDK this class is discourageg to be used, using instead the String.split(...) method or using a new java.util.regex package.
Here is the result of this sample code:
tokens count: 3
token = a
token = stringtokenizer
token = sample
token = 2005
token = 12
token = 15
