## Class StringTokenizer

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.tools.ant.ProjectComponent
  - - org.apache.tools.ant.util.StringTokenizer

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.Cloneable, Tokenizer
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    TokenFilter.StringTokenizer

      public class StringTokenizer
      extends ProjectComponent
      implements Tokenizer

  Class to tokenize the input as areas separated by white space, or by a specified list of delim characters. Behaves like java.util.StringTokenizer. If the stream starts with delim characters, the first token will be an empty string (unless the treat delims as tokens flag is set).
  Since:
    Ant 1.7
