Looping through tokens

[Landon]

Hi again,
I'm currently stuck on a program. I have a string that is turned into tokens. I need to loop through the tokens and so the output will look something like this:
Bob 45 34 29 1 87 total 197
total Bob 98 34 23 23 total 178
and so on. I know the code I have right now isn't close to being correct but I wanted to get the idea i had down quickly. I wanted to see if i'm on the right(ish) track or should abandon this method and go a different way? and also when I'm looping and trying to check what type the next token is how do I do that? Like so, if (S = word) or if (S = float).
Thanks in advance

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

public class theLoop
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        String S = "Bob 45 34 29 1 87    total      789    total Bob 98 34 23        23          fred 50 50 50 40 total 190";
        StringTokenizer StrTok = new StringTokenizer(S);
        
        while (StrTok.hasMoreTokens)
        {
            String S = StrTok.nextToken();
            int State == 1;
            
            //If statement for first state
            if (State = 1 && S = char)
            {
                State == 2;
            }
            else
            {
                System.out.println("Name is not the first object, program terminating");
            }
            
            //Statement for the second state
            if (State = 2 && S = char)
            {
                //Combine with previous word to form name
                State == 2;
            }
            else if (State == 2 && S = float)
            {
                State == 3;
            }
            
            //Statement for the 3rd state
            if (State = 3 && S = float)
            {
                //Add with previous number
                State == 3;
            }
            else if (State = 3 && S = "total")
            {
                State == 4;
            }
            else
            {
                State == 5;
            }
            
            //Statement for the 4th state
            if (State = 4 && S = float)
            {
                //Add all the previous numbers
                //Print Name followed by numbers
                //and total
                State == 1;
            }
            
            else 
            {
                //Keep previous total b/c it is part of a name
                //Print name, numbers, and total again
                State == 2;
            }
            
            if (State = 5)
            {
                //Print name, number, and totals
                //keep new word 
                State == 2;
            }
            
            
            
    }
}

hi Landon, your code if full of errors. please learn the basics like the difference between = and ==, otherwise you will never be able to wrote advanced code. a starting point is here Java Tutorials and then follow the links in the section Trails the Basics. said that here is some code that produce the output like

Bob = word
45 = int

and so on. note that the number are all formatted as integer and not float.

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

public class theLoop {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String input = "Bob 45 34 29 1 87    total      789    total Bob 98 34 23        23          fred 50 50 50 40 total 190";
        // first of all replace multiple spaces with a single one
        String s1 = input.replaceAll("\\b\\s{2,}\\b", " ");
        // the following println is only for checking the s1 string after the replaceAll
        System.out.println(s1);
        // split your string in tokens
        String[] s2 = s1.split(" ");
        for (String token : s2) {
            try {
                Integer i = Integer.valueOf(token);
                System.out.println(i + " = int ");
                // if the valueOf throws a exception if the token was not a integer
                // not very elegant but working
            } catch (IllegalArgumentException ex) {
                // the IllegalArgumentException was thrown so the token is a word
                System.out.println(token + " = word");
            }
        }
    }
}
