Class StringSplitter

java.lang.Object

org.ow2.clif.util.StringSplitter

public abstract class StringSplitter
extends java.lang.Object

String utility for getting fields separated by the given delimiter characters. It differs from the JDK's StringTokenizer basically in that it returns empty strings for each double delimiter occurrence. In other words, a double delimiter is considered as if it embraces a null-sized field. A trailing delimiter, as well as a starting delimiter, is considered to be followed (resp. preceeded) by a null-sized field.
