space in the Name

Hi,

I am trying to read a dat file. each tab has one specific data. but unfortunately some date has space on it. like I am reading "ABC A" I want this to be one token reading a line but it considers ABC as one token and A another token. Is there any way to read ABA A together regardless of their space.

Thank you

What method and what class are you using to read and parse the Strings?

Code Java:

One of The constructors for the StringTokenizer class takes a String of delimiters.
Have you tried that?

You don't need this whole program to do the test. You only need s small program with a String with the data as you want to parse. Create a StringTokenizer instance, passing it the string and then printout the tokens that are returned to see if they are what you want.
