Java Examples: Splitting a string using a StringTokenizer.

Question:

How can you split a String into tokens?

Answer:

By using a StringTokenizer

Code:

import java.util.StringTokenizer;
 
public class SplitString { 
 
   public static void main(String[] args) { 
 
      String str = "Paul:John:George:Ringo"; 
 
      // using : as a delimiter
      StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(str, ":");
 
      System.out.println(str);
 
      while (st.hasMoreElements()) {
         System.out.println(st.nextElement());
      }
   } 
}

Output:

$ java SplitString 
Paul:John:George:Ringo
Paul
John
George
Ringo
