How to split a string having string as delimiter instude of char?

Question

Hello Gurus,
I want to split the string and work on each split string.
The following code will do, but not exactly.
It's split into morethan three strings, where coma find.
But I want to split it using #,# as delimiter.
Here is my code:
//File fileData = new File("myfile.txt");
// This will have coma separated fields data
// while traversing this file will readLine() give the string, that is strRecord
// BufferedReader bfrdRdrObj = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(strDataFile));
//while ((strThisLine = bfrdRdrObj.readLine()) != null) {..........
String strRecord = #A001#,#User1#,#this is record, so need to split and place, insert into table#;
StringTokenizer strTknRec = new StringTokenizer(strRecord,"#,#");
int iCounter=0;
while(strTknRec.hasMoreTokens()){
System.out.println(++iCoutner+"Field: "+strTknRec.nextToken());
Please, give me hint.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Guru,
Here "myfile.txt" CSV file.
each line represented treated as a record and coma seperated string is treated as fields.
But, one of the fields data may have the coma in the string itself. So, # or " (double quote) has been place before and end of the field data as a string qualifier.
//File fileData = new File("myfile.txt");
// This will have coma separated fields data
// while traversing this file will readLine() give the string, that is strRecord
// BufferedReader bfrdRdrObj = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(strDataFile));
//while ((strThisLine = bfrdRdrObj.readLine()) != null) {..........
String strRecord = #A001#,#User1#,#this is record, so need to split and place, insert into table#;
StringTokenizer strTknRec = new StringTokenizer(strRecord,"#,#");
int iCounter=0;
while(strTknRec.hasMoreTokens()){
System.out.println(++iCoutner+"Field: "+strTknRec.nextToken());
And I would like to run this JRE 1.3.1
Hope, String.split() in JRE 1.4.0 beta will some what resolve this.
But, how to do it on JRE 1.3.1
Please, give me hint.
Thanks in advance.
