Searching Strings

Yes, you'll have to look at the StringTokenizer Class in the API.
Example is comming..

can't you use this?

x.indexOf("apple");

if it returns -1 it dosen't contain the word

public class TestMe {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String test = "I like apples";
        java.util.StringTokenizer st = new java.util.StringTokenizer(test, " ");
        while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
            System.out.println(st.nextToken());
        }

    }
}

Oh yes, you can also use indexOf().. Depends on what your needs are..

StringTokenizer seems good.. there's the nextToken and so that works really sweet. But How do I do "thisToken"? (already tried "this" of course :) )

I'm not sure I understand.. Maybe I'm dumb ;-) ??

By the way....

public class TestMe {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String test = "I like apples";
        java.util.StringTokenizer st = new java.util.StringTokenizer(test);
        while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
            System.out.println(st.nextToken());
        }

    }
}

You can actually simplify the code a bit.. A different constructor for StringTokenizer.

Feel free to look at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/index.html
It explains quite a lot about the above mentioned class.

I was probably fussy..
I mean that when I loop the StringTokenizer, nextToken works great.. but after I found what I wanted, I don't want nextToken, I want the present token.. If I use nextToken again I will get the word after the one I want.

Ohh, perhaps by "thisToken" you mean the current token; that is, the current token in the string that you are scanning. What you are trying to do is to scan the current token/string to see if is contains e.g. apple?

Yes. That's it!
how?

nextToken starter før første token og returnerer derfor første token første gang
den kaldes !

Yees.. i know.. but when I've already used nextToken in the loop then I can't reach it again when I want to use it.. because then it will be the next after the one i want to use...........

Gem en referance.

Eller (forudsat at du bruger J2SE 1.4) brug split.

Den returnerer String[].

Like this:
public class TestMe {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String test = "I like apples";
        String searchedWord = "apples";
        String token=null;
        boolean endLoop = true;
        java.util.StringTokenizer st = new java.util.StringTokenizer(test);

        while (st.hasMoreTokens() && endLoop) {
            if (searchedWord.equals(token=st.nextToken())) {
                System.out.println(token);
                endLoop = false;
            }
        }
    }
}

ooh.. *clever*
That was some great help!
You really deserved your points magoo.

No problem.. StringTokenizer is pretty neat.. You can also use regular expressions if you need to match Strings(>=JDK 1.4). It's a bit harder to undertstand but it's worth looking at!
