its not very clear what you want to do actually.
but if you want to convert string to array of string like this

  
String str = "This is test string";
String[] strArr ={"This","is","test","String"};

then you can use StringTokenizer which will extract the works for you from the string and then you can put it in array of string.

Hi,
My intenstion is i have a string object and i want to convert this String object into ArrayofString object so that i will pass this ArrayofString object to sort method.

Let us see the Practical scenario
String mstrString = " this is the test string and want to convert it into array of String";
The output is it will return the Array of String
the function looks like

public String[] StringtoArry(String)
{
return String[];
}
}

if you want whole string as one entry in array then do

 
String str="This is test String";
String[] strArr = new String[]{str};

if you want each word as seperate word in array then

  
String str="This is test String";
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(str, " ");
int length = st.countTokens();
String[] strArr = new String[length];
for(int i=0;i<length;i++){
strArr[i]=st.nextToken();
}

StringTokenizer is a legacy class according to the 1.4.2 API.
You should use String.split(regex).

So to split a sentence up into an array of words:

String sentence ="my sentence of really interesting words";
 
String[] arrayString = sentence.split(" ");
 
//String word length:
int myStringLength = arrayString.length;
 

Hope that helps
