In my understanding the StringTokenizer divides the String in tokens which on printing produces same result as split function depending on the delimiter. For example, consider this code:
String str="This is a text.";
StringTokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(str);
while(st.hasMoreTokens()) {
System.out.println(st.nextToken());
}
And this:
String str="This is a text.";
String st[]=str.split(" ");
for(int i=0;i<st.length;i++) {
System.out.println(st[i]);
}
In both the cases the output is:
This
is
a
text.
Then why should I use StringTokenizer when I can achieve same thing with split function?
