Counting tokens in a GUI

Question

hey all im a first time poster and a first year IT student so sorry if this is old hat but i need a hand.
Im using a standard Tokenizer...in a GUI .
I have it that the program prints each token (word or whatever) on a seperate line to each other in the output field.........but what i need as well, is to count the amount of tokens in the same output field as well or a different one (dose not bother me).....any ideas would be VERY apprieciated.
This is not an ssignment but just an exercise hand in.
Here is my code so you can see what im on about.
Thanks for your help

public void buttonClicked( JButton theButton ){
          if( theButton == clickMe ){
          String inputValue = inputField.getText();
          inputField.setText( "" );
          output2Field.append( "--> " +               
inputValue );
     StringTokenizer tokens = new StringTokenizer(inputValue);
     while (tokens.hasMoreTokens())
          outputField.append( "\n" + tokens.nextToken());
     public static void main( String [] args ){
          Example01 tpo = new Example01();
          tpo.setTitle( "Example01" );
          tpo.setSize( 250, 150 );
          tpo.setVisible( true );

Hi...
Not too sure if I understand your post. Surely you can just use the following method of StringTokenizer to get at what you want?
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/util/StringTokenizer.html#countTokens()
//your code
StringTokenizer tokens = new StringTokenizer (inputValue);
int numTokens = tokens.countTokens ( )
//some more of your code, doing something with numTokens variable (displaying it perhaps)
