Help with separator

[eel]

Hi, I would like to use separator but the results come out were not what I expected.

I use
Tos = To.split(",");
for (int i = 0; i < Tos.length; i++)
{
System.out.println(Tos[i]);
}
I was using printwriter as well. I hope that in the file the result should look like this:
To:ll
To:ooo
To:pp

Instead of
To:ll,ooo,pp

Is anyone know what's the problem?

Please edit your post and use [code] ... [/code] tags instead of those smilies so we can actually read what you wrote; also show us your original String 'To'.

kind regards,

System.out.println("To who?");
To = in.nextLine();
Tos = To.split(",");
for (int i = 0; i < Tos.length; i++)
{
System.out.println(Tos[i]);
}

I hope that in the file the result should look like this:
To:ll
To:lpp
To:lii
Instead of
To:ll,lpp,lii

[JosAH]

System.out.println("To who?");
To = in.nextLine();
Tos = To.split(",");
for (int i = 0; i < Tos.length; i++)
{
System.out.println(Tos[i]);
}

I hope that in the file the result should look like this:
To:ll
To:lpp
To:lii
Instead of
To:ll,lpp,lii

What is the exact code you're using to print to a file? because the code you're showing us prints each part of the String on a separate line and no "To:" prompt. Your code doesn't even print to a file; please give us all the details we need to help you.

The code I use to print file is as below:
pwInput.println("To: " + To);

[JosAH]

The code I use to print file is as below:
pwInput.println("To: " + To);

Are you surprised about its output? Where is the code you posted in your original post? Now you are simply printing the value of the original String 'To' prepended by the String "To: ".

pwInput.println("To: " + To);
String delimiter = ",";
if (To.equals(",")) {
rr = To.split(delimiter);
for (int i = 0; i < rr.length; i++)
{
pwInput.println("To: " + rr[i]);
}}

This isn't work as well.

I actually want the output to be:
To:ll
To:lpp
To:lii

Instead of
To:ll,lpp,lii

[JosAH]

pwInput.println("To: " + To);
String delimiter = ",";
if (To.equals(",")) {
rr = To.split(delimiter);
for (int i = 0; i < rr.length; i++)
{
pwInput.println("To: " + rr[i]);
}}

Read it out loud: the if-condition reads: "if String 'To' is equal to a single comma". If it isn't the entire body of the if statement is skipped.

So how do I make the printwriter to be the way I want if the string contains comma?

Think a bit: if your String is equal to "a,b,c" you want to output to be:

To: a
To: b
To: c

If the String equals "a", do you want the output to be:

To: a

? If so, have a look at the String.split( ... ) method again, if not, please explain what you want.

My problem is the code
To: a
To: b
To: c
showed in the command window instead of showing in the printwriter.
I don't know why.

[eel]

It shows in command window as:
To:a
To:b
To:c
but it shows in the file as:
To:a,b,c

[JosAH]

It shows in command window as:
To:a
To:b
To:c
but it shows in the file as:
To:a,b,c

You are using the println( ... ) method when you print to the console but you are using print( ... ) when you're writing to a file; you should print an end-of-line character to the file as well for every line. And please show us the actual code you are using because as it is now the entire thread becomes confusing at best.

kind regards,

Thanks. I got it :)
