Question

right now I am a little bit confused. I want to manipulate this string with a tokenizer:

Bob:23456:12345 Carl:09876:54321

However, I use a Tokenizer, but when I try:

      String signature1 = tok.nextToken(":");             
      tok.nextToken(" ")

I get:

12345 Carl

However I want to have the first int and the second int into a var.

Any ideas?

You have two different patterns, maybe you should handle both separated.

Fist you should split the space separated values. Only use the string split(" "). That will return a String[].

Then for each String use tokenizer.

I believe will works.

Code:

String input = "Bob:23456:12345 Carl:09876:54321";
String[] words = input.split(" ")

for (String word : words) {
  String[] token = each.split(":");

  String name = token[0];
  int value0 = Integer.parseInt(token[1]);
  int value1 = Integer.parseInt(token[2]);    
}
