StringTokenizer separater issue with special charecters
public class Tokenizer {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String longStr = "33068|~|Disa+bled|~|False=
String separator = "+";
StringTokenizer token = new StringTokenizer(longStr, separator);
String[] strList = longStr.split(separator);
for(int i=0; i < strList.length ; ++i)
{
System.out.println(strList[i]);
}
}
Hi ,
The above program is throwing an exeception because I am using '+' as delimeter . if we put '\\+' then it is working fine.
Problem is the separator is configurable and I don't know which data will come into this. Some times it may be one character and sometimes it may be
String which contains these meta characters. In those case I can't identify those and put \\ right… tell me is there any method to do this.
Solution :
"\\Q"+separator+"\\E";
If we use \\Q and \\E it will remove all the metacharacters in the string and it will take as it is…
