Help with text input?

I am looking for a way to take text that a user inputs and to be able to evaluate the individual words that are input. I have no problem setting up a JTextField and retrieving the input via getText(), but I want to be able to evaluate the words that the user enters so I can have the program respond based on the words.

Thanks in advance for any help I can get! :)

Can you give us an example of a phrase of words you might expect and what action(s) you might take

You can use the String.split() method with " " (a space) as the parameter, which returns all the substrings that are between spaces in an array. http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#split(java.lang.String)

But for something like LALR(1), you probably should use a StreamTokenizer
