This is a program I found on the net a few days ago. It's supposed to be used to get each word to be placed on a new line. However, what I am aimed to do is this:

Instead of: I;am;writing;in;C#

I want the output to be:

I
am
writing
in
C#

How and where can I edit the below code so that it can get rid of the ";" and put each word on a new line?

private ArrayList tokens;
private int currIndex;
private int numTokens;
private string currStr;
private string currDelimiter;

public StringTokeniser() {
    
}

public StringTokeniser(string text, string delimiter){
    
    this.tokens = new ArrayList();
    this.currStr = text;
    this.currDelimiter = delimiter;
    
    if(delimiter.Length == 0){
        
        this.currDelimiter = " ";
        
    }
    this.Tokenize();
    
}

public StringTokeniser(string text, char[] delimiter) {
    
}

public StringTokeniser(string source) {
    
}

public string CurrStr{
    
    get{
        
        return this.currStr;
        
    }
}

public string Delimiter{
    
    get{
        
        return this.currDelimiter;
        
    }
}

private void Tokenize() {
    
    string TempSource = this.currStr;
    string Tok = "";
    this.numTokens = 0;
    this.tokens.Clear();
    this.currIndex = 0;
    
    if(TempSource.IndexOf(this.currDelimiter) < 0 && TempSource.Length > 0)
    {
        this.numTokens = 1;
        this.currIndex = 0;
        this.tokens.Add(TempSource);
        this.tokens.TrimToSize();
        TempSource = "";
    }
    else if(TempSource.IndexOf(this.currDelimiter) < 0 && TempSource.Length <=0)
    {
        this.numTokens = 0;
        this.currIndex =0;
        this.tokens.TrimToSize();
    }
    while(TempSource.IndexOf(this.currDelimiter) >= 0){
        
        if(TempSource.IndexOf(this.currDelimiter) == 0)
        {
            if(TempSource.Length > this.currDelimiter.Length)
            {
                TempSource = TempSource.Substring(this.currDelimiter.Length);
            }
            else
            {
                TempSource = "";
            }
        }
        else
        {
            Tok = TempSource.Substring(0,TempSource.IndexOf(this.currDelimiter));
            this.tokens.Add(Tok);
            if(TempSource.Length > (this.currDelimiter.Length + Tok.Length))
            {
                TempSource = TempSource.Substring(this.currDelimiter.Length + Tok.Length);
            }
            else
            {
                TempSource = "";
            }
        }
    }
    if(TempSource.Length > 0)
    {
        this.tokens.Add(TempSource);
    }
    this.tokens.TrimToSize();
    this.numTokens = this.tokens.Count;
}

public void NewSource(string newSrc){
    this.currStr = newSrc;
    this.Tokenize();
}

public void NewDelim(string newDel)
{
    if(newDel.Length == 0)
    {
        this.currDelimiter = " ";
    }
    else
    {
        this.currDelimiter = newDel;
    }
    this.Tokenize();
}

public void NewDelim(char[] newDel){
    
    string temp = new String(newDel);
    if(temp.Length == 0)
    {
        this.currDelimiter = " ";
    }
    else
    {
        this.currDelimiter = temp;
    }
    this.Tokenize();
}

public int CountTokens(){
    
    return this.tokens.Count;
}

public bool HasMoreTokens(){
    
    if(this.currIndex <= (this.tokens.Count - 1)){
        
        return true;
        
        } else{
        
        return false;
        
    }
}

public string NextToken() {
    
    string result = "";
    if(this.currIndex <= (this.tokens.Count - 1)) {
        result = (string)tokens[currIndex];
        this.currIndex++;
        return result;
        
        } else{
        
        return null;
        
    }
}


} 

Hope someone can help. Thanks.

In the grand scheme of things, have the delimiter be:

\n

This tells the cursor to go to the next line.

[Amadeus]

Ya think?

Can you post the actions you are taking to have the output string generated? What do you enter, and where do you enter it to see that output string? the only reason I ask is becasue thwere is already a NewDelim method (two, actually) that will allow you to change the delimiter.

Also can you post the code you are using to diplay the output?

[rukiaKuchiki]

sure thing...there's actually two other classes which go with this class. the class that i've presented to you is the string tokenizer class. The others are still a work in progress. The following class is the class that reads in the .dat file and displays the result. the class after that is the one where it organizes the information. i've actually compiled it with the string tokenizer class and it seems to work the way i want it to...however i've been told that my Tokenize() in the string tokenizer class is a bit too complex. I want to use the split() but i don't where to implement that. oh, also...the string tokenizer and toy classes actually extend interfaces...

try {
StreamReader carFile = new StreamReader(inFile);
string readCars = carFile.ReadLine();
StringTokeniser st = new StringTokeniser(readCars, ";");

while(st.HasMoreTokens())
{
try
{
Car car = new Car();
string str = st.NextToken();
listOfCars.Add(st.NextToken());

Console.WriteLine(str);
//car.Price(st.NextToken());
//listOfCars.Add(st.NextToken());
}
catch
{
Console.WriteLine("Car not valid"); }
}


} catch {
Console.WriteLine("Cannot be tokenised");
}

}

Seems like an awful lot of work for something that should be rather simple. Couldn't you just parse through the whole file replacing all the ";" with "\n" as Datalus suggested. Also, I'm not sure what the equivalent is in C#, but in vb there is a split function that would serve to split any string into an array using the named delimiter. Something like....

Dim StringToParse As String = "I;am;writing;in;VB"
Dim ParseStringArray As String() = StringToParse.Split(CChar(";"))

If you are trying to parse a file, I'm pretty sure C# has some equivelant to the streamreader class that could read in the file one line at a time and then parse each line. Don't know if this helps.

The StreamReader class, as with most classes used in the .NET framework, were actually developed for C# first, and then ported to VB.NET. It is now part of the larger framework library.

It is available in all .NET languages.

I've finally got the String Tokenizer class working. Well, it was working before but it was too complicating. But now it's implemented in a simpler way. Yes, I did use the Split method...and it works. Now I'm stuck on how to do the SortToys. :S
