This is Akshatha. I\'m stuck in parsing the following data. I want to fetch each word individually. Can I have a sample code so that I can proceed

Answer 1

I would try String.split(). Something like this...
String [] words;
words = line.split("\s+");

The above splits the string on whitespace.

Answer 2

Use BufferedReader to read your file (or input stream) thusly.

Then use StringTokenizer to split each line into tokens thisly

I'm not providing a ready-to-use code here because I think you'd learn better by combining the above examples into a working code yourself.

Answer 3

How about using a Stringtokenizer to fetch each word?

import java.util.*;
public class ReverseWords {
    public static void main( String args[] ) {
        String s = "Go to the main menu. Quick!";
        StringTokenizer tokens = new StringTokenizer(s);
        StringBuffer ab;

        while (tokens.hasMoreTokens()){
            ab = new StringBuffer (tokens.nextToken());
            // do your processing
        }
        System.out.println();
    }
}
