Hi,
I am trying to format a string e.g.
"ou=Applications"
to just extract the "Application" part of the string?
I think you can use the StringTokenizer class and "=" as a delimeter, but I tried that and it did not work for me!
Can someone please tell me how to do this and give me an example piece of code if possible?
Thanks.
StringTokenizer should work on this...
String yourString = new String("key=value");
String result;
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(yourString, "=");
if(st.countTokens() == 2) {
st.nextToken();
result = st.nextToken();
}
else {
System.out.println("illegal formatted string...");
}
not that nice - but it should work :)
Or, better yet, just use the String split method:
String ldapEntry = "ou=Applications";
String [] tokens = ldapEntry.split("=");
System.out.println(tokens[1]); // prints out "Applications"
Just one line of code does it. - MOD
