Extract values from a string

[thomas colding]

Very simple Qustion how to Extract all the values from following String that is seperated with the Sign '#'.
One#Two#Tree#Four#Five.

Thanks.

Could you be a little more specific as to what you would like to accomplish?

If you are trying to get the substrings (one.tow, etc) then you could use a StringTokenizer...

[Tony Docherty]

You could use StringTokenizer but the preferred method these days is to use the String.split() method. This uses regular expressions to split the string and returns an array of the parts.

For example:

String[] parts = myString.split("#");

Thanks Tony, I was unaware of this improvement in the language

Exactly what I would like to do.
but I need to Put each value in a new Variable as following af after I have split it.

String Val1=One
String Val2=Two
String Val3=Tree
String Val4=Four
String Val5=Five

the mention Split-object will put all the values in a array .
How do I extract the each value and put them in to a string.

Why would you prefer not to reference the results by the array index? Anyway if you must you could do something like this:

public static void main(String[] args)
{
   String stringToParse = "One#Two#Tree#Four#Five";
   String[] tokens = stringToParse.split("#");
 
   String val1 = tokens[0];
   String val2 = tokens[1];
   //... etc.
}

But seriously, I don't see what is gained by doing this.

Lake off Java-knowledge, after a little Weekend study I found out that it is possible to ref. drirect to a Array.
And I can not use Split-method since my Java-version is 1.4.1
Thanks for the Guidens everybody,
You have to Crawl before you can Walk, I am just in the first Phase:-)

String.split() was introduced in 1.4, so you can use it.
