Java StringTokenizer nextToken(String delim) Method

Description

The Java StringTokenizer nextToken(String delim) method is used to return the next token in this string tokenizer's string. First, the set of characters considered to be delimiters by this StringTokenizer object is changed to be the characters in the string delim. Then the next token in the string after the current position is returned.

Declaration

Following is the declaration for java.util.StringTokenizer.nextToken() method.

public String nextToken(String delim)

Parameters

delim − This is the new delimiters.

Return Value

The method call returns the next token, after switching to the new delimiter set.

Exception

NoSuchElementException − This is thrown if there are no more tokens in this tokenizer's string.

Getting Next Token of StringTokenizer Example

The following example shows the usage of Java StringTokenizer nextToken() method to get the next token of the tokenizer. Here we're creating a StringTokenizer object using a given string. Then using nextToken() method we've advanced by an token and then using nextToken() method again we've printed the next to next token.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.util.StringTokenizer;

public class StringTokenizerDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      
      // creating string tokenizer
      StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer("Come to learn");

      // moving to next token
      st.nextToken();

      // checking next to next token
      System.out.println("Next token is : " + st.nextToken());
   }    
}

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result.

Next token is : to

Getting Next Token of StringTokenizer with Delimiter Example

The following example shows the usage of Java StringTokenizer nextToken() method to get the next token of the tokenizer. Here we're creating a StringTokenizer object using a given string and a delimiter. Then using nextToken() method we've advanced by an token and then using nextToken() method again we've printed the next to next token.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.util.StringTokenizer;

public class StringTokenizerDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      
      // creating string tokenizer
      StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer("Come!to!learn","!");

      // moving to next token
      st.nextToken();

      // checking next to next token
      System.out.println("Next token is : " + st.nextToken());
   }    
}

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result.

Next token is : to

Getting Next Token of StringTokenizer with Delimiter Example

The following example shows the usage of Java StringTokenizer nextToken(String delim) method to get the next token of the tokenizer using given delimiter. Here we're creating a StringTokenizer object using a given string. Then using nextToken() method we've advanced by an token and then using nextToken() method again we've printed the next to next token.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.util.StringTokenizer;

public class StringTokenizerDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      
      // creating string tokenizer
      StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer("Come!to!learn");

      // moving to next token using a delimiter
      st.nextToken("!");

      // checking next to next token using a delimiter
      System.out.println("Next token is : " + st.nextToken("!"));
   }    
}

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result.

Next token is : to
