James, Check the JavaDocs again on the usage of StringTokenizer, it does have the ability to have multiple delimeters. You specify the delimiters in the 2nd argument of the constructor. The nextToken() method will return the token with or without the delimiting characters depending on the value of the returnDelims flag in the constructor. If you need to find the char position of the token, you could first copy the stringbuffer into a string variable and then do a String.indexOf() call to return the char position.
