Im very new at java programming, and need a bit of help with a problem:
Here is what I have:
System.out.print("Enter a string : ");
Scanner scan = new Scanner (System.in);
stringy = scan.nextLine();
Now I want to split the string "stringy" like this: h:hi:hip:hipp:hippo
I know this uses substring, but I can't figure out how to do it.
Any help would be great, thanks!

Have a look at the lentgh() method from the String class.

I know about the length method, what I dont know is how to use the length and substring methods together to solve the problem i mentioned initially. Remember, Im very new. ;)

There are three ingredients to perform this task:
- String.length()
- String.substring(int start, int end)
- for-statement: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/for.html
Pseudo code:IN <- input String from user
LOOP FROM 0 -> IN.length()
print IN.substring(?, ?)
print ":"
END LOOP

Remember that by just handing you the solution, you will learn far less than finding things out by yourself.

Thanks a lot, i should be able to figure it out froom the pseudo code. :)
