populating a predefined list

[Abagesh Kumar]

For a string 0609|1|2834.56150|07710.32664|

I can parse using split .

Is it possible to have a predefined lsit or something which will hold

U1 = 1
L1 = 3
L3 = 2
L4 = 4

and will populate it with the exact values grabbing the substring from position( 1, 3, 2, 4).

U1 = 0609


L1 = 2834.56150


L3 = 1


L4 = 07710.32664


Any ideas on how to do this ?

The String class split() method returns you a String array. Suppose the array variable is str then you already have below values if you split using '|'.

str[0]=0609
str[1]=1
str[2]=2834.56150
str[3]=07710.32664.

You can store the combination as a combination int array ->

combination[0]=1;
combination[1]=3;

and print the str[combination]. Check with the array's length to avoid ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.

edit - by str[combination] I meant str[combination[0]], str[combination[1]],...
