[Tutor] String Tokenizer - As in Java

[Marc Barry]

Thanks for the help.

I tried to google for it also and I didn't find those two links.  The second 
one gave me the answer I was looking for as it seems that 'split' does 
exactly what I want.

Although, my interpretation is that 'split' only only allows the defintion 
of one separator.  This is okay for most things, but I have strings that I 
would like to split with two separators such as '.' and '@'.  I don't think 
that I can use split to handle this and therefore will have to resort to 
something more powerful (i.e. regular expressions).

Thanks for your quick and easy answer.

Marc

I don't know anything about Java, but  quick googling turned up the 
following
two links:

(follow the "Next message" links at the bottom for the full thread)

(this one is a thread from comp.lang.python, from 2003-07-24, so I doubt
you will find anything better)
