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

[James Perkins <jrperkinsjr@xxxxxxxxx>]

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() + "'");
        }
    }

}
