Split method?

[crptcblade]

Does a Split method exist in Java, if so, do you know where to get it (like what package, or something)?

Thanks

crptcblade,

It actually does have something simliar.

It's in the java.util package.

I haven't used it but I believe the syntax is:

String strToSplit = "This is a sentence.";
StringTokenizer tokens = new StringTokenizer(strToSplit);

It uses
.countTokens() to determine the number of tokens returned.
.hasMoreTokens() if there are more tokens left.
.nextToken() to move to the next token.

I'm not sure of the other methods, I just made a quick glance through my Java book.

Hey thanks. Does that only split at spaces? It looks that way huh? I wrote up a little class, it's not great, but it splits at any delimiter (I think ) and returns an array of Strings. Haven't fully tested it yet, though.

The default is " \n\t\r".
Space, newline, tab and carriage return.
