Tokenizer Help

I agree. I see no signs that it's deprecated. Though, in all honesty, the Scanner class may duplicate much of its functionality in a somewhat more convenient form.

One last question. How would i do this. The user inputs a series of "things", and then the user enters some options of what could be in those things, and I have to check wether or not those things are in there.

Such as . .

code:

First Input: (Pink,Green,Orange,Blue) Second Input: (Pink,Yellow) Answer: NO First Input: (Pink,Green,Orange,Blue) Second Input: (Blue,Green) Answer: YES

Check out the containsAll method

Ok, easy enough, now how to I break up the second line. As in, how do i seperate the words.

I know i have to go

Java:

String[] hold = two.split("(");

and split it part by part, then i would go something like

Pseudo:

for (int i = 1 ; i <= upper(hold) ; i++) {      str += hold[i]; } String[] hold = hold.split(",");

then repeat for ( ")" ); . . but how can i look for the upper bounds of [i]hold?, or maybe there's an easier way . .

(where's edit ) Oh, and the second entry isn't in any specific order either, but I know that the final if statement will look something like

Java:

if (one.contains(two) == true)

[wtd]

The input format is guaranteed?

Is fo, then just "trim" off extra whitespace, remove the two parens, trim whitespace again, then split on: "\s*,\s*".
