Question

Im reading in a file and each line is as follows

Derek Simons, Jason baker
Jack Smith, Rob Thomson

The problem is with my tokenizer

StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(line, ",");
    while(st.hasMoreTokens()){ 
       System.out.println(st.nextToken());
    }

the output is

Derek Simons
 Jason baker
Jack Smith
 Rob Thomson

how can I get rid of that extra blank space? so that the output would be

Derek Simons
Jason baker
Jack Smith
Rob Thomson

Any help is appreciated thanks!

Answer 1

I don’t know which programming language you are using, but in many languages there is something called Trim(). so you do s.Trim();, where s is the string. That will remove all blanks
