Question

I am using Java to split a search query on it’s spaces

example:

String[] queryParams = queryString.split(" ");

so search for “New York Yankees” will get put into an array of three elements.

Now, I want to iterate over each of those elements (regardless of the length of the query) and store them in their respective variables so I can dynamically populate another part of my program.

Thanks

A simple for loop can iterate over your array.

for(String elem : queryParams) {
    //do whatever with elem
}

Then if you want to use those values in another method of your program I’d suggest you pass your array to your method or just pass a single value (if you don’t need every values) by calling your method like that : aMethod(queryParams[*anIndex*]); (in which case you wouldn’t need to iterate on your array and assign to variable.

If you really want to assign your values to ids, maybe you could put them in a map in your for loop.
