Using multiple delimiters with StringTokenizer

Question

I'd like to know how I can use multiple delimiters with StringTokenizer in java. For example one of these !,*,/,^ will occur as a delimiter. Also there will only be one at a time.

Use the constructor with two arguments, where the second is the delimiters.

StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(yourString, "!*^/");

Can you make a delimiter that has more than one character e.g., AVG? – Cronas De Se May 19 '16 at 10:18

You can use String.split() method because it takes regex as a parameter. You can specify Regex such that it can split the string based upon one of these deliminators.

Except it can't be used for large strings. – Buffalo Apr 16 '17 at 17:22
