Attributes

Type:

Array of string

Access:

read/write

Default Value:

{ " " }

 

Syntax

myString1 = myStringTokenizer1.Delimiters[0];

 

myStringTokenizer1.Delimiters[0] = myString1;

 

Example 1

The example below shows how to use the StringTokenizer.Delimiters property and AddDelimiter/RemoveDelimiter methods to parse a string.

 

StringTokenizer ST;

ST.StringToParse = "apple orange banana,grape,pear;kiwi";

Report ST.Delimiters, ST.Delimiters.Count, ST.Tokens, ST.Tokens.Count;

 

// Add delimiters to tokenizer

ST.AddDelimiter(";");

ST.AddDelimiter(",");

Report ST.Delimiters, ST.Delimiters.Count, ST.Tokens, ST.Tokens.Count;

 

// Remove a delimiter from tokenizer

ST.RemoveDelimiter(";");

Report ST.Delimiters, ST.Delimiters.Count, ST.Tokens, ST.Tokens.Count;

 

Output:

 

ST.Delimiters

ST.Delimiters.Count

ST.Tokens

ST.Tokens.Count

" "  

1

{apple        

orange        

banana,grape,pear;kiwi}
