base.StringTokenizer.create()

create() is used to initialize a declared StringTokenizer object. This is a class method that requires two arguments.

Syntax:

base.StringTokenizer.Create(sting, delimiter)

• string is a string to be parsed.
• delimiter is a quoted string or a variable specifying the symbol which will be treated as a delimiter.

Usage example:

MAIN
	DEFINE i TINYINT
	DEFINE tok BASE.StringTokenizer

	LET tok = BASE.StringTokenizer.CREATE('C:\\My Documents\\My Pictures','\\')
	DISPLAY "BASE.StringTokenizer.CREATE('C:\\\\My Documents\\\\My Pictures','\\\\')"
	LET i = 1
	DISPLAY "BASE.StringTokenizer.countTokens() - " , tok.countTokens()
	WHILE tok.hasMoreTokens()
		DISPLAY i, ". >", tok.nextToken(),"<"
		LET i = i + 1
	END WHILE
END MAIN

When using base.StringTokenizer.Create(sting, delimiter), you must follow these rules:

1. The empty tokens are not taken into account; leading, trailing and consequent delimiters between tokens do not change the number of tokens.
2. There are no escape characters for the delimiters.
3. nextToken() can never return NULL strings.
