Java.util.StringTokenizer Class

Introduction

The java.util.StringTokenizer class allows an apppcation to break a string into tokens.

This class is a legacy class that is retained for compatibipty reasons although its use is discouraged in new code.

Its methods do not distinguish among identifiers, numbers, and quoted strings.

This class methods do not even recognize and skip comments.

Following is the declaration for java.util.StringTokenizer class −

pubpc class StringTokenizer
   extends Object
   implements Enumeration<Object>

Sr.No.	Constructor & Description
1	StringTokenizer(String str) This constructor a string tokenizer for the specified string.
2	StringTokenizer(String str, String depm) This constructor constructs string tokenizer for the specified string.

StringTokenizer(String str)

This constructor a string tokenizer for the specified string.

StringTokenizer(String str, String depm)

This constructor constructs string tokenizer for the specified string.

Sr.No.	Method & Description
1	int countTokens() This method calculates the number of times that this tokenizer s nextToken method can be called before it generates an exception.
2	boolean hasMoreElements() This method returns the same value as the hasMoreTokens method.
3	boolean hasMoreTokens() This method tests if there are more tokens available from this tokenizer s string.
4	Object nextElement() This method returns the same value as the nextToken method, except that its declared return value is Object rather than String.
5	String nextToken() This method returns the next token from this string tokenizer.
6	String nextToken(String depm) This method returns the next token in this string tokenizer s string.

This class inherits methods from the following classes −
