Java +Parsing a text file

[Raj Jaya]

Hi,
I have text file which contains data in this way

DEBUG ooegroup.OoeGroupOnlineInterfaceImpl - PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT :: BEFORE OOE RESERVE GROUP MEMBER Info >>>> Fri Apr 03 10:16:47 ICT 2009>
DEBUG ooegroup.OoeGroupOnlineInterfaceImpl - reserveOOEGroup :>
DEBUG ooegroup.OoeGroupOnlineInterfaceImpl - PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT :: AFTER OOE RESERVE GROUP MEMBER Info >>>> Fri Apr 03 10:16:48 ICT 2009>
DEBUG reserve.ReserveOoeGroupResponseMapper - Start : mapToOOEGroupResponse>


each line starts with DEBUG

i need to read this text and take the strings which contains PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT and split this

PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT :: BEFORE OOE RESERVE GROUP MEMBER Info >>>> Fri Apr 03 10:16:47 ICT 2009>

into 1) BEFORE
2) OOE RESERVE GROUP MEMBER Info and 3) Fri Apr 03 10:16:47 ICT 2009

i mean to say into 3 tokens .

i have done upto this part

lineText = lnr.readLine();
while (lineText != null) {
lineText = lnr.readLine();
if (lineText != null) {
if (lineText.contains("PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT")) {
s = lineText.toString();
String delims = "PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT ::";
String[] tokens = s.split(delims);
System.out.println(tokens[1]);

}
}
}

splitted into

BEFORE OOE RESERVE GROUP MEMBER Info >>>> Fri Apr 03 10:16:47 ICT 2009>
AFTER OOE RESERVE GROUP MEMBER Info >>>> Fri Apr 03 10:16:48 ICT 2009>

how can i further split into
1) BEFORE
2) OOE RESERVE GROUP MEMBER Info and 3) Fri Apr 03 10:16:47 ICT 2009




Thanks in advance

Regards
Raj

One possible suggestion:

Use the String#split methods with a regular expression which recognises :: and >>>>?
Is BEFORE always one word? If so, you can repeat the procedure splitting the second String; you may be able to set a limit of 1 so it only splits on whitespace once.
