Use StringTokenizer

[Grishma Dube]

I have a string

id,name,status,resourceStatus,;requirement,description,owner,permission,

I want to convert it into

id;name;status;resourceStatus;, requirement;description;owner;permission;
Can anyone tell me this, how should I do it with StringTokenizer?

Thanks in Advance

Here is what JavaDoc tells about StringTokenizer class ..

The string tokenizer class allows an application to break a string into tokens.

String#replace() , method helps !!

Any specific reasons to use StringTokenizer?
Since JDK 5, Scanner will be a better option.

Not in this case, or at least not directly. The ; and , need to be switched around. As with all swapping, you will need some temporary replacement or you will lose one of the two.

replace could work as follows:

String s = "id,name,status,resourceStatus,;requirement,description,owner,permission,";
s = s.replace(";", "|");
s = s.replace(",", ";");
s = s.replace("|", ",");

Of course this will cause more problems if | is in the string.
