How to read characters from a string ?

[Rohit Prakash Khare]

Hi,
In my java program I accepted string from the user and now I want to calculate the length of the string, and then read characters one by one to encrypt it.
How to read the characters one by one ? Like Mid$ function in VB.

To find the length of string use length() method AND THAN RUN IT IN A for loop fo charter finding perhaps folowin code willhelp:

String x = "This is my test";
char[] xh = new char[x.length()];
for(int i=0;x.length();i+)
{
ch[i]=x.charAt(i);
}

hope it may help...

Another approach similar to the $mid is
substr(int begpos,int endpos) in a for loop
