StringTokenizer Question

-----------------------------------

Write program called VowelRemover that ask the user to enter a sentence and replaces all the vowels in the sentence with *.  In addition, it converts successive words into upper, lower, upper case pattern. 

e.g. 	The sky looks cloudy today.  It is not a good day to go out.

	TH* sky L**KS cl**dy T*D*Y.  *t *S n*t A g**d D*Y t* G* **t. 


I get the question and I'm done for the most part. The part that screws me up is when there are two vowels in a row. 
We're supposed to use StringTokenizer and possibly StringBuffer class for this. Help?

How is that case different from there being just one vowel (or three)?

I agree, how is that any different?

If you have code that replaces one vowel. It should work for any vowel.

Um.. alright. So I got how to do two vowels. Now the upper and lower case thing really screws me up.

Any ideas there? Because I ended up dividing it into seperate tokens, and test a e i o u for each one. Then when I implement the uppercase lowercase if statements, it ends up looking like

TH* sky L**ks CL**dy T*d*Y.

for obvious reasons. Because I go Uppercase>lowercase>uppercase, and so on, after each token. I can't keep the words intact.

the words used to be intact earlier on in the program.
