The following method might be extremely useful for people:
String [] undelimit(String input, char separatorChar, char quoteChar);
This method splits a string according to a Delimiter seperated format (CSV) for example. It takes into account quoting, as well as allowing for empty tokens. So a string like the following:
a, , b, "c,d,e", "f""g""h",
would return the following tokens:
1- a 2- <blank> 3- b 4- c,d,e 5- f"g"h 6- <blank>
It happens to strip leading whitespace, but i could always make that optional.
It's an extremely efficient algorithm which runs through the underlying character array one character at a time to build the tokens.
Any thoughts?
