Name
StringTokenizer
Synopsis
When
a StringTokenizer
is instantiated with a
String
, it breaks the string up into tokens
separated by any of the characters in the specified string of
delimiters. (For example, words separated by space and tab characters
are tokens.) The hasMoreTokens( )
and
nextToken( )
methods obtain the tokens in order.
countTokens( )
returns the number of tokens in the
string. StringTokenizer
implements the
Enumeration
interface, so you may also access the
tokens with the familiar hasMoreElements( )
and
nextElement( )
methods. When you create a
StringTokenizer
, you can specify a string of
delimiter characters to use for the entire string, or you can rely on
the default whitespace delimiters. You can also specify whether the
delimiters themselves should be returned as tokens. Finally, you can
optionally specify a new string of delimiter characters when you call
nextToken( )
.
