storing a string in an array

[tiyani]

I want to split the string called x and store split sections in an array

String x = "+x1 -x2 +x3";// where x1..xn represents numbers

String [] temp ={"+x1","-x2","+x3"}; // the results

[Fubarable]

I have to admit that this confuses me a bit:

String x = "+x1 -x2 +x3";// where x1..xn represents numbers

So, what is a typical String going to look like?
How will you be receiving these Strings? From the command line? a text file? a GUI? a database?
What have you tried so far and what is the result?
What will you do with the String array once you have it?

Much luck!

If you are getting input, try making the original string more like this...
[code]
string original = "x1;x2;x3;x4;x5;x6";
[code]
then using String.split(";") should return the array.
Of course, you can substitute any character in place of the semi-colon (';')
