Hi,
Probably has been asked many times ,but since the group doesnt a search feature (or maybe it has and i dont know about it) i think my quickest way out is to post it.

I need to split a string "This is my Red house".
remember string contains multiple spaces like 3 before Red and 4 before house to the following

This
is
my
Red
house

can someone show me the way out.
The String Tokenizer class dosent seem to have someting like this , i think String.split may have something but havent been able to find out..

Hello.

Using String.split is good way to do this.


You will get array consisting of "This", "is", "my", "Red", "house". That " +" argument to split method means that delimeter is one or more spaces (it is regular expression).
