Java StringTokenizer Class
Introduction
The Java StringTokenizer class allows an application to break a string into tokens.
This class is a legacy class that is retained for compatibility reasons although its use is discouraged in new code.
Its methods do not distinguish among identifiers, numbers, and quoted strings.
This class methods do not even recognize and skip comments.
