Parsing Characters?

[Sam Bluesman]

Lets say im reading a line from a text file. In the case on wanting to put integers that are in a string I read in into an integer, the following snippet of code works fine.

tokenizeMe2 = new StringTokenizer(MyFile2.readLine());
String number = tokenizeMe2.nextToken();
numbers[counter] = Integer.parseInt(number);
 

obvisouly the emphasis is on the Integer.parseInt()


Now, lets say i want to read in letters that are seperated by spaces that are to be placed into a char array called, say, letters.

 
tokenizeMe2 = new StringTokenizer(MyFile2.readLine());
String letter = tokenizeMe2.nextToken();
letters[counter] = ???
 

Is it possible to PARSE these in as characters into a char array or do these have to be passed in as STRINGS into a String array?

Thanks

If "letter" is a one-character String, then to get that character as a 'char' you use the charAt() method:

char c = letter.charAt(0);

This method works for Strings of any length, of course.

Thanks. That worked just fine!
