StringTokenizer 2

[timmbo]

Hi All,

Trying to parse a string using StringTokenizer. The line I'm attempting to parse acctNames.elementAt(i) is:
AA%20Test%20Inc%20%5BAAB%5D%20%5B1111111111%5D

Here is my code for parsing:

...
StringTokenizer sTokenizer = new StringTokenizer((String)acctNames.elementAt(i), "%5B");
tempToken = sTokenizer.nextToken();
...

I'm trying to parse at %5B and return in tempToken AAB. But what is returning is AA. Can someone help me out please.

TIA,
Tim

The delimeters in a StringTokenizer are not a literal string of "%5B" but mean "delimit my String using "%", "5" or "B" .

Look at the String method split() which will split/tokenize using a regular expression.

Or you could run that string through a URLDecoder to simplify it (it is a http sent string is it not ?)

Take a look at

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/StringTokenizer.html

This class tokenizes with each char in the String you pass as parameter. In this case the first delimiter it findis is the % so it returns the first token AA.

If you're using JKava 1.4 or higher you can use the String.split method.

Grr, two minutes late. Sorry for double post

 

[timmbo]

Thanks All,

How would I use the split() with (String)acctNames.elementAt(i);. Thanks.

 

[Diancecht]

http://www.kickjava.com/777.htm

String[] weAreYourTokens = (String)acctNames.elementAt(i).split("%5B")

Cheers,

Dian

Thanks for the help Diancecht.

String [] weAreYourTokens = (String)acctNames.elementAt(i).split("%5B");

I tried your suggestion and getting the following error.

The method split(String) is undefined for the type Object.

 

[sedj]

Try :

String [] weAreYourTokens = ((String)acctNames.elementAt(i)).split("%5B");

Thanks for the help sedj and all. Forgive me but I'm still having trouble with .split(). I entered

String [] weAreYourTokens = ((String)acctNames.elementAt(i)).split("%5B");

and I'm getting the error "The method split(String) is undefined for the type String". I added import java.lang.String and still have the same issue. What am I missing?

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA,
Tim

As an aside, you don't need to import any of the java.lang classes.

Thanks timw. I got that one...

 

[timw]

It compiles for me. Have you got it exactly as sedj wrote it?

Yep, copied it right off the board.

 

[timw]

Curious. Maybe you'd better post your code, if it's not too long.

Looks right to me. You're definitely using jdk1.4? A later one like 1.4.2_06? Do a java -version to check if you're not sure.

I think I found the problem. I'm using java ver 1.3.1. Thought I was using 1.4...

 

[timw]

..ahhhh. That'll be it then.

Then you lose the benefits of split() method and you need to do it in the traditional way.

You'll need to use the indexOf and substring methods from String class.
