string - How does the java " stringtokenizer.nextToken(delimiter); " work? -

what mean string values accepted delimiters? because keep trying use string composed of several different characters program seems ignore scan empty space default delimiter...

for example if tokenized string follows: phone number = 790-3233

i 1st token " = " set delimiter , next token should string "790-3233"

thanks in advance...

by default delimiters space , if not supply one

    // extracted stringtokenizer.java      public stringtokenizer(string string)      {             this(string, " \t\n\r\f", false);      } 

if supply = delimiter along string splits

stringtokenizer st = new stringtokenizer("phone number = 790-3233","=");
