Newbie: neither stringtokenizer nor split()

Thread view:

I am looking for a way that will allow me to tokenize a string
describing the delimiter with a regular expression and that will also
return the delimiter in the token.

And i think Stringtokenizer can't take regex and split just won't
return the delim. So... here's where i get lost.

Thanks!!

If you are wanting the tokenizer to return the delimiters as tokens,
then when declaring your tokenizer make sure the third argument is true.

For example:

String Tokenizer st = new StringTokenizer("This|is|a|test","|",true);

Oh thanks but then the delimiter the second argument can't be a regular
expresssion.

The method I am looking for would be like the stringtokenizer but
taking regular expressions.

StringTokenizer syllable = new StringTokenizer("longevity",
"[^AEIOUYWaeiouyw][AEIOUYWaeiouyw]", true);

This regular expressions searches for syllables of one consonant and
one vowel.
