simple string parsing question

[Marc E]

All,
Been a looong time since i've done any string parsing in java. I seem to
remember there being a braindead simple way of turning a string like this:

100,1,1;2598,2,3;25467,1,3

into an array of arrays delimited first on the semicolon and then on the
comma.

Currently, i'm just stringTokenizing it on the semicolon and then doing
next() calls.

So...
StrTokenizer = new StrTokenizer("100,1,1;2598,2,3;25467,1,3",";");
List list = tokenizer.asList()

iterate over list
StrTokenizer newTokenizer = new StrTokenizer(list.next(),",");
List newlist = newTokenizer.asList();
thisVal = newlist.next();
someOtherVal = newlist.next();

and so forth.

it's just damn ugly, so i'm wondering what the best/cleanest way to do this
in java is.

thanks all.

Marc

ugggg, forget it. funny how you go looking in all your little commons helper
packages when it's right there in String.

- Show quoted text -

public static String[][] getArrays(String stringVal){
String[] strings= stringVal.split(";");
String[][]arrayOFarrays = new String[strings.length][];
for (int i = 0; i < strings.length; i++) {
arrayOFarrays = strings.split(",");
}
return arrayOFarrays;
}

I am not sure if it is any prettier, but another way of doing it.
