I wanna separate this string in the format below,pls help me out...

35697600114106009 = unit ID

Don't use a String Tokenizer, have a look at the String.split() method instead.

First read this and then try this:

String s= // your string
String[] parts= s.split(",");
for (int i= 0; i < parts.length; i++)
  System.out.println("parts["+i+"]= "+parts[i]);
 

kind regards,

Jos

ps. adding a bunch of exclamation marks won't help.

hello JosAH
i think first u have to add this line!!!

//after String s = "" //ur string.
s=s.substring(0,s.indexOf(":"));
 

because split() will work using " , " and will consider the xxxx:1234, as one part!
am i right?

thanks

Isn't that what the OP wants? i.e to have xxxx:1234 as one part?

Hi,
If the Variables are fix in length, then you can use the following code :


String str = "ST200STT:35697600114106009,20070407,08:09:00,+18. 511246,+73.842756,1.430,332.87,1,0000,0";
System.out.println("unit ID is :"+str.substring(8,26));
System.out.println("Date is :"+str.substring(27,35));
System.out.println("Time in GMT is :"+str.substring(36,44));
System.out.println("Latitude is :"+str.substring(45,55));
System.out.println("Longitude is :"+str.substring(56,66));
System.out.println("Speed is :"+str.substring(67,72));
System.out.println("Heading is :"+str.substring(73,79));

Cheers,

*yuck* never put magic numbers in your program code(*). It isn't needed here,
a simple String.split(":") does most if not all of the work.

Why waste your time doing manually what the split method does automatically?
