I have to read a file in format char, int string.
I can easily do it in the form - int int, string e.g. 12 34 the cat sat on the mat(which is what I want to process and output)
code below.

tokenType = inputStream.nextToken();
		while (tokenType != StreamTokenizer.TT_EOF)
		{
		   
			firstNo= (float)inputStream.nval; inputStream.nextToken();
			secondNo = inputStream.nval;
                                      thirdstring = inputStream.Sval;
			System.out.println(firstNo+"\t"+secondNo+"\n"+thirdstring );			
			tokenType = inputStream.nextToken();
			
			
      }
		}

but when theres a character at the begining or a string, int, string I can only get the first word(shown below) of the string instead of the whole title.

in.nextToken();

		while (in.ttype!=StreamTokenizer.TT_EOF)
		{
			if(in.ttype==StreamTokenizer.TT_WORD){
				type=in.sval;
			}
			else{
				System.out.println("Wrong file format");
			}
			
				if(in.nextToken()==StreamTokenizer.TT_NUMBER){
				v=in.nval;
			}
			else{
				System.out.println("Wrong file format");
			}
		
				if(in.nextToken()==StreamTokenizer.TT_WORD){
					   
		                              \\here
				     show=in.sval;
				     
				    in.nextToken();
                                       }
				
				   
				    
				    }

it will get the first word of the last string.
I want to put the foloowing code where "\\here" is to get the rest of string

show+=in.sval;
show+=" ";
 if(in.nextToken()==StreamTokenizer.TT_EOL)
{
    break;
}
show=" ";

but it doesn't like EOL, nothing gewts printed out???

I don't think you can differentiate between different data types using a StringTokenizer. You would have to use a StringBuffer to hold all the stuff and then do some parsing.

Although a StringTokenizer doesn't differentiate, a StreamTokenizer does. It can distinquish between Strings, ints, and all that good stuff.
