In java I have a method that recieves a string that looks like:
"Name ID CSVofInts"
It's purpose is to create a new object with the name, ID and then pass in the CSV as an int array.
How do you split such a string?
-
Can you show a couple example rows? I'm wondering if the Name, ID, and CSV data have any extra spaces, etc...Andy White– Andy White2011-04-14 02:24:19 +00:00Commented Apr 14, 2011 at 2:24

Try this:
String items [] = str.split(" ", 3);
String csv [] = items[2].split(",");

Number of approaches:
String[] splitArrayOfStrings = theString.split("delimiter");
Or
You could utilize the StringTokenizer class for more flexible handling

you can use the tokenizer class.
EX:
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer("this is a test");
while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
System.out.println(st.nextToken());
}
will output
this
is
a
test

Try the Java string split() function.
public String[] split(String regex)
The string "boo:and:foo", for example, yields the following results with these expressions:
Regex -> ":"
Result ->
{ "boo", "and", "foo" }
Returns an array of strings. :)

Chop off the first two fields by simply iterating over the string and finding the first two words, then the ints can be split with substring.split(",");
