This must be a classic .NET question for anyone migrating from Java.

.NET does not seem to have a direct equivalent to java.io.StreamTokenizer, however the JLCA provides a SupportClass that attempts to implement it. I believe the JLCA also provides a Tokenizer SupportClass that takes a String as the source, which I thought a StreamTokenizer would be derived from, but isn’t.

What is the preferred way to Tokenize both a Stream and a String? or is there one? How are streams tokenized in .Net? I’d like to have the flexibility that java.io.StreamTokenizer provides. Any thoughts?

  1. There isn’t anything in .NET that is completely equivalent to StreamTokenizer. For simple cases, you can use String.Split(), but for more advanced token parsing, you’ll probably end up using System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.
