How do I split strings in J2ME?

Question

How do I split strings in J2ME in an effective way?

There is a StringTokenizer or String.split(String regex) in the standard edition (J2SE), but they are absent in t

That depends on what exactly you want to achieve, but the function String.substring() will be in there somewhere:

String myString = "Hello World";

This will print the substring starting from index 6 to the end of the string:

System.out.println(myString.substring(6));

This will print the substring starting from index 0 until index 5:

System.out.println(myString.substring(0,5));

Output of all the code above:

World
Hello

Combine this with the other String functions (indexOf(). etc.) to achieve the desired effect!

Re-reading your question, it looks as though you may have been looking for String.split(). This will split your input string into an array of strings based on a given regex:

String myString = "Hi-There-Gang";

String[] splitStrings = myString.split("-");

This will result in the splitStrings array containing three string, "Hi", "There" and "Gang".

Re-reading your question again, String.split is not available in J2ME, but the same effect can be achieved with substring and indexOf.
