All Implemented Interfaces:

java.util.Enumeration<java.lang.Object>

public class ASCIITokenizer
extends java.util.StringTokenizer

A StringTokenizer, that conveniently tokenizes a ASCII-file The main difference to its base class is, that it doesnīt count the delimiters as tokens in method countTokens() and that its methods nextElement() and nextToken() donīt return a delimiter, but an empty Object/String if there are two delimiters next to each other.

Constructor Detail

ASCIITokenizer

public ASCIITokenizer(java.lang.String str,
                      java.lang.String delim)

Creates a new instance of ASCIIOfferTokenizer

Parameters:

str - String to be tokenized

delim - String separator

Method Detail

countTokens

public int countTokens()

Counts the number of tokens in the string to be tokenized

The delimiters are not counted unlike in class StringTokenizer

Overrides:

countTokens in class java.util.StringTokenizer

Returns:

int - the number of tokens without the delimiters

getDelimiters

public java.lang.String getDelimiters()

Returns the delimiters of this tokenizer

Returns:

String -the delimiters of this tokenizer

getStr

public java.lang.String getStr()

Returns the string to be tokenized

Returns:

String to be tokenized

nextElement

public java.lang.Object nextElement()

Returns the next element of the string to be tokenized

It does quite the same as the method nextToken() but it returns an Object instead of a String

Specified by:

nextElement in interface java.util.Enumeration<java.lang.Object>

Overrides:

nextElement in class java.util.StringTokenizer

Returns:

Object - the next element of the string

nextToken()

nextToken

public java.lang.String nextToken()

Returns the next token of the string to be tokenized

Overrides:

nextToken in class java.util.StringTokenizer

Returns:

String - the next token of the string
