Whilst looking through the newsgroup articles at groups.google.com, I have seen
several people stating that they would like to be able to get empty tokens back
from StringTokenizer. There have also been people writing code to do this. Would
it not be possible to do this in the core.


SOURCE CODE BELOW:

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

public class reporter {

  public reporter() {
  }

  public static void main(String args[]) {
    String line = "22||2|2|2";

    StringTokenizer lineToken = new StringTokenizer(line, "|");
    System.out.println(line);
    System.out.println("Tokens:"+lineToken.countTokens());
    while (lineToken.hasMoreElements()) {
      System.out.println("T:"+lineToken.nextElement());
    }
  }

}

I am trying to write a program that will reformat a pipe ("|") delimited file.
The feature I would like to see added to the StringTokenizer is the ability for
it to either return a null value or an empty string when two pipes appear
together (i.e. ||).

Currently it goes for the first string it finds regardless of what delimiters
are before it. This is not what I want.
