Thread: use Delimiter, Scanner Class

It looks like you want to replace the / with a new line, have a look at the String.replaceAll(String expr, String substitute) method.

good idea to read this see what it says. Just think anything can be the Delimiter

Delimiter

hope this helps..

Im also trying a similar program, where i read in an url from the user and seperate it using a delimeter("/")

i.e.

user input: 'www.google.co.uk/index.html'

output should be:

'www.google.co.uk'
index.html


i think im almost there, here is my code

public static void main(String[] args) {
 
        String url;
 
        Scanner scan, seperateUrl;
 
        scan = new Scanner(System.in);
 
        System.out.println("Enter url: ");
        url = scan.nextLine();
 
        seperateUrl = new Scanner(url);
        seperateUrl.useDelimiter("/");
 
        System.out.println(seperateUrl.next());
 
        System.out.println();
 
    }
}

My output when i type in 'www.google.co.uk/index.html'

is just:

'www.google.co.uk'


i.e. it seems to just be cutting off the rest of the url at the point of the first forward slash.

What do you mean by token mate?

Is it a while loop?

to keep printing after every forward slash?

Just sussed it out i think.

I have this now and it seems to be working

while (seperateUrl.hasNext())
        System.out.println("    " + seperateUrl.next());
 
        System.out.println();

Yeah it is. Makes a change for once.

Ive only just begun though, and i just cant get my head around half the concepts. I think the book im working through is hopeless and rammed packed of mistakes aswell, which doesnt help either.

Im okay at writing single main class programs, its writing multiple classes and my own classes where it gets tricky and hard to follow.
