Tokenizing

[peter brews]

Dear All,
My file is as follows:
Name|john|
|robert|
|smith|
|ruby|
msg[0]|error: cannot insert NULL into
(the emp table) change the values
errorcode is 1111
msg is aa
|
city[0]|boston|
phone[0]|5555555555|
|8888888888|
|0|
|0|
The output should be
Name
john
robert
smith
ruby
msg[0]
error: cannot insert NULL into (the emp table) change the values errorcode is 11msg is aa
city[0]
5555555555
8888888888
0
0
what changes should i make to the code below so that if the error message spans multiple lines then all those lines should be printed as 1 token
StringBuffer StringBuf = new StringBuffer();
String line = null;
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
StringBuf.append(line + "\n");
}
String cString = StringBuf.toString();
StringTokenizer tokenizer = new
StringTokenizer(cString, "\n");
while (tokenizer.hasMoreTokens()) {
currentRecord = tokenizer.nextToken();
if (currentRecord.length() > 0) {
token = new StringTokenizer(currentRecord, "|");
String s = token.nextToken().trim();
System.out.println("the string is" +s);

while (token.hasMoreTokens()) {
String testtoken=(String)token.nextToken();
System.out.println("the tetstoken is " +testtoken);
}

Thanks,
smita

When posting code, please be sure to surround the code with the [code] and [/code] UBB Tags. This will help to preserve the formatting of the code, thus making it easier to read and understand.

I think that the first thing you want to do is use "|" as the token, not "\n". Try that.
