In this example we shall show you how to tokenize a String with StringTokenizer. The StringTokenizer is used to break a String into tokens. To tokenize a String with StringTokenizer one should perform the following steps:
- Get a new StringTokenizer for a specified String, using the
StringTokenizer(String str)constructor. - Get the tokens of the String, using
hasMoreTokens()andnextToken()API methods of StringTokenizer. Since no delimiter has been set, one of the delimiters in the default delimiter set is used, that is here thespacecharacter,
as described in the code snippet below.
package com.javacodegeeks.snippets.core;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
public class TokenizeStringWithStringTokenizer {
public static void main(String[] args) {
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer("Java Code Geeks - Java Examples");
// lop through tokens
while(st.hasMoreTokens()) {
System.out.println(st.nextToken());
}
}
}
