Convert variable into an array

Question

I have variable, abc; whose value is in the format val1,val2,val3,..
I want to convert it into an array, like that arr[0]=val1; arr[1]=val2; so on. How can I do this?

Answer 1

examine this class that I did
import java.lang.*;
public class ReadString {
public static void main(String[] args){
String abc = "1,2,3,4,5,6";
StringBuffer abc2 = new StringBuffer(abc);
int arrayLength = abc2.length(); //get length
int[] abcFinal = new int[6];
for (int i=0; i<arrayLength; i++) { //test characters
     int anIndex;
     if (!(abc2.substring(i,i+1)).equals(",")) { //if it is a number
     //(i/2) is ta little formula to be able to assign the
     //right index in the intArray to the number
     anIndex = (i/2);
     //set value to array
     abcFinal[anIndex] = Integer.parseInt(abc2.substring(i,i+1));
for (int j=0;j<abcFinal.length;j++ ) {
     System.out.println("i = " + j + " value = " + abcFinal[j]);
}//end main
}//end class
