How to separate words by using tab in Java ?

[tobleron]

Hi, I have a data like this :

String sample = "blaa blee bliii bloo bluu";

These words were separated by tab (not space). I want to classify them
into :

String word1 = "blaa";
String word2 = "blee";
String word3 = "blii";
String word4 = "bloo";
String word5 = "bluu";

How to do that ? Please help. Thank you in advance.

Note : I know how to use scanner. I also know that new line is "\n".
But I don't know about tab. Is it "\t" ??

Yes, it is, (as can be seen by following one of the many links
to "Pattern" from Scanner's javadoc, and reading there.)

Another, perhaps simpler option for you could be using String.split:
String[] words = sample.split("\t");
now: words[0]=="blaa", words[1]=="blee", ...

finally, if really necessary, assign to separate variables:
String word1=words[0], ... , word5=words[4];

One minute of research. JLSIYF.

Read the Java tutorial(s):
<http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/>

JLSIYF??? What is that... Google does not know
Java Language Specification In Your Face???

Oh, come on.  Really?

You got the JLS part.  Now relate the rest to "GIYF" and it should all come clear.

One question mark is sufficient to indicate an interrogative.

I didn't get it... can you help?
