Re: Splitting a string with spaces (not i specific)

Are you using Java 5 or higher? You might be able to us a
java.util.Scanner. Maybe something like this?

public class ScannerTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String s = "ABC .... DEF .... GHI";
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(s);
scanner.useDelimiter(" ");
while (scanner.hasNext()) {
System.out.println("'" + scanner.next() + "'");
}
}

}

This question isn't very i specific, but it does have to do with an i project I'm working on.

I need to split a string (in Java) into individual words ... but I need to preserve spaces.

An example of the text I need to split is something like this:
ABC    . . . . DEF . . . . GHI

I need to see "ABC", "   . . . .", "DEF", ". . . .", and "GHI".

Obviously splitting on the space character `\s` isn't going to work, as all the spaces get swallowed up as one space.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
