Parse String

[timmbo]

Hi All,

I need to parse a string consisting of an account number and a unitID.
Below is the string I need to parse.


1004404285%28S2%29%20%5BSub%202%20Account%5D


What needs to be extracted is:
A) 1004404285
B) S2

How would I extract these two items and assign to their own variables.

TIA,
Tim

It depends if the input string is always going to be in this format, if so see example below:

import java.util.StringTokenizer;

public class parseString
{
	public static void main (String [] args)
	{
		String inputString = "1004404285%28S2%29%20%5BSub%202%20Account%5D";
		String accountNumber = null;
		String unitID = null;

		StringTokenizer sTokenizer = new StringTokenizer(inputString, "%");

		accountNumber = sTokenizer.nextToken();

		String tempUnitID = sTokenizer.nextToken();

		unitID = tempUnitID.substring(2,4);

		System.out.println ("Input String: \t\t" + inputString);
		System.out.println ("Account Number: \t" + accountNumber);
		System.out.println ("unitID: \t\t" + unitID);
	}
}

**** OutPut ***********

Input String: 1004404285%28S2%29%20%5BSub%202%20Account%5D
Account Number: 1004404285
unitID: S2
Hope this helps.
