Can someone tell me exactly what is this regex doing?

new StringTokenizer(string,":/.@\\;,+ ");

I could not understand the exact meaning of this Regex, though it looks like something to do with splitting a string based on special characters?

    StringTokenizer does not use regular expressions. The second parameter is a list of characters to be used as separators between tokens.

    The JavaDoc says:

    StringTokenizer is a legacy class that is retained for compatibility reasons although its use is discouraged in new code. It is recommended that anyone seeking this functionality use the split method of String or the java.util.regex package instead.
