Thread: separate strings

if i get a text like "hello world my name is mike"
how can i separated the text without using Tokenizer class??

i have to put the text in link list
and in the text i have onle letters and space

i read it and i don't know if i can use all the methods there beacuse in the homework they recomended that i can use onlt specific method
so i think if i use str.length then i can go all over the text until i get space and get the word to a list
what do u think?

you can just use splitting. eg, splitting by whitespace

String str = "hello world my nane is mike"
String s[] = str.split("\\s+")

note, each individual word is stored in a String array. you can store them in a link list or whatever as you like.

I think str.split(" ") would work too.


LinkedList<String> ll = new LinkedList<String>();
for (int i =0; i < s.length; i++)
{
ll.add(s[i]);
}

of course, but note that its only one space, (not white space, which includes tabs etc). If all the "blanks" between the words are tabs, it will not work.

thanks i think i solved the problem
