What is the delimiter for tab in StringTokenizer???

Question

I am trying to use StringTokenizer on a string which contains tab character. I tried StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(str, "/t"); but nothing happens, what should use as the delimiter?
thanks in advance

Your tokenizer construction is fine. Here's a working app for you to mess around with - I can only assume you're doing something - somewhere that's odd;-import java.util.StringTokenizer;
public class TokenizeDemo{
   public static void main (String []args){
      String str = "We \t all \t love \t java \t and \t rabbits";
      StringTokenizer tkn = new StringTokenizer(str, "\t");
      int counter = tkn.countTokens();
      String []strArray = new String[counter];
        for(int i = 0; i < counter; i++){
            strArray[i] = tkn.nextToken().trim();
      System.out.println(strArray[0]);
      System.out.println(strArray[1]);
      System.out.println(strArray[2]);
      System.out.println(strArray[counter-1]);
}
