Can we use StringTokenizer using 2 things???

Question

i have a sentence with several brakets and i want to tokenize it using two sign the) and , i.e
my sentence is
today(lana(went([to,preposiotn,the,det,park,noun]))),john(went(to,preposiotn,the,det,school,noun]))),
what i want to do is to divide the sentece when there is ), TO BE
today(lana(went([to,preposiotn,the,det,park,noun]))),
john(went(to,preposiotn,the,det,school,noun]))),
So i thought of doing
StringTokenizer tokens=new StringTokenizer(stringToTokenize,",");
but it just take the )
any ideas????

Answer 1

If you want to leave the comma in place:   String[] parts = str.split("(?<=\\),)"); Or you can drop the comma:   String[] parts = str.split("(?<=\\)),"); StringTokenizer treats the "delim" argument as a set of single-character delimiters, and it doesn't recognize empty tokens. That means, if you use ")," as the "delim" argument, it will treat any sequence of one or more close-parens or commas or both as one delimiter. StringTokenizer is one of the most counter-intuitive classes I know of. Of course, split() isn't exactly a no-brainer either, but it can handle many problems that, like this one, are impossible to solve with a StringTokenizer.
