Thread: Help me understand Delimiter limitations?

I'm trying to scan a string from a file that has int, words and double numbers. I want to just print the words, how do I ignore the double type numbers in the file? I was thinking this would work...

Scanner scanner = new Scanner(line);
scanner.useDelimiter(double);
System.out.print(scanner.next() + " ");

Delimiter doesn't like it when I don't have " " and a character with it.

So can you use a delimiter to skip passed Doubles?

A simple no would have sufficed Junky. You made me realize the importance of attitude and communication in the business world though. Even though I'm new at programming and still getting my feet wet, employer's want people who can understand one another. You did not demonstrate understanding of the fundamentals of my problem here. I asked a simple question, obviously you pointed out that you can not use double syntax with delimiter. However, instead of leading me down a dark tunnel, you could have lead me to another avenue to a solution. I'm glad I suck at programming and not with people skills. Problem solved.
