For example the user type in John, Doe E. and you want put John in one variable, Doe in another and E in the third? I looked through any java books i found and it did not mention this?

You might find a neat solution using String[] String.split (String regex) You might need to learn things about "regular-expressions" Back to top Hal Rosser Guest Posted: Thu Aug 11, 2005 9:01 pm    Post subject: Re: Strings "Masamunexiii" <jkamdar (AT) wideopenwest (DOT) com> wrote Quote: How do you break apart strings?

Look at the split method of the String class - and also take a look at the StringTokenizer class.

You can do string.indexOf(" "); to find the index of the delimiter (maybe a space in this case?) and the use the substring methid to grab data you want.
