    17 StringTokenizer

    Uploaded by

    The StringTokenizer class in Java divides a string into tokens by delimiters and allows iterating through the tokens. It takes a string, optional delimiter string, and flag. In a loop, hasMoreTokens() checks for more tokens and nextToken() returns each one for processing. Examples show tokenizing strings by whitespace, "-", and "-/" and printing the tokens.

    String Tokenizer

    Dividing an input string line into words


    • In some applications, the program may need to divide the
    input line into words and then process each word separately.
    • Although it is not hard to write code that divides a string into
    words, it is easier still to make use of existing facilities in the
    Java library to perform this task. One strategy is to use the
    StringTokenizer class in the java.util package, which
    divides a string into independent units called tokens. The
    client then reads these tokens one at a time. The set of tokens
    delivered by the tokenizer is called the token stream.
    • The precise definition of what constitutes a token depends on
    the application. Tokens are either words or the characters that
    separate words, which are called delimiters.
    The StringTokenizer Class
    • The constructor for the StringTokenizer class takes three
    arguments, where the last two are optional:
    – A string indicating the source of the tokens.
    – A string which specifies the delimiter characters to use. By
    default, the delimiter characters are set to the whitespace
    characters.
    – A flag indicating whether the tokenizer should return delimiters
    as part of the token stream. By default, a StringTokenizer
    ignores the delimiters.

    • Once you have created a StringTokenizer, you use it by


    setting up a loop with the following general form:
    while (tokenizer.hasMoreTokens()) {
    String token = tokenizer.nextToken();
    code to process the token
    }
    Example
    • The following code fragment prints the words of a given
    string, separated by whitespace characters:
    String line = ”java is great";
    StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(line);
    while (tokenizer.hasMoreTokens()) {
    String token = tokenizer.nextToken();
    println(token);
    }

    • Hence the output is:


    java
    is
    great
    Example
    • The following code fragment prints the words of a given
    string, separated by ‘-’:

    String line = ”java-is-great";


    StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(line,”-”);
    while (tokenizer.hasMoreTokens()) {
    String token = tokenizer.nextToken();
    println(token);
    }

    • Hence the output is:


    java
    is
    great
    Example
    • The following code fragment prints the words of a given
    string, separated by ‘-’ or ‘/’:

    String line = ”java-is/great";


    StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(line,”-/”);
    while (tokenizer.hasMoreTokens()) {
    String token = tokenizer.nextToken();
    println(token);
    }

    • Hence the output is:


    java
    is
    great
