sorry doug, that wasn't meant to be a direct reply, just pushed the reply button that's all. now that you've started this, take a look at the Java-API, check out String.indexOf(String str, int index) it states quite clearly that it will RETURN THE INDEX OF THE SUBSTRING(SUBSTRING, for your information could be a whole string or a part of it, so this method works for something like "CANCATENATE" as well as it does for "CATTLE"). i would also urge you to read what i had written once again, i think i made it quite clear that you are to USE THE INDEX AND THE QUERY STRING LENGTH TO OBTAIN THE SUBSTRING and do whatever the heck you want to with it. i don't quite feel i need to take a stab at anything you've written... what you write's your prerogative. however, i would suggest you leave it to the moderators to decide what questions get posted to this list and if you don't like them, ignore them and quit flaming people. sans adieu vijay -----Original Message----- From: Doug Turner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 26, 2000 12:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: about the stringtokenzier Why are you replying to me directly? I didn't ask the question. Of course, this won't separate words from text...if I am looking for "cat" your method would return a false positive for text containing the word "cattle"; and don't tell me that I should search for the string " cat ", what about cat ending a sentence, before other punctuation, beginning/end of line, etc., etc. Since you are having problems answering fan yuan's question, perhaps you can take a stab at mine below... ----- Original Message ----- From: Vijay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Doug Turner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 25, 2000 10:32 PM Subject: RE: about the stringtokenzier > token is a character or a series of characters(which would explain the > string for the delimiter parameter here). > > if you want to find a whole word, i suggest you use indexOf(String str, int > idx)(in java.lang.String). str would be the word you want to search for and > idx if the index at which you want to start the search, this'll return the > index at which first occurance of str from the given index can be found. use > the index value and strs length to do whatever you want with that string > thereafter. to find more of the same string, you could loop and set index to > newIdx+str.length(). > > sans adieu, > vijay > > -----Original Message----- > From: A mailing list for discussion about Sun Microsystem's Java Servlet > API Technology.
