public class StringTokenizer
extends Object
implements Enumeration

A class to tokenize a string. StringTokenizer is a class that controls simple linear tokenization of a string. The set of delimiters, which defaults to common whitespace characters, may be specified at creation time or on a per-token basis.

Example usage:

	String s = "this is a test";
	StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(s);
	while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
		println(st.nextToken());
	}

Prints the following on the console:

	this
	is
	a
	test
