The techniques discussed here are appropriate for validating program input, displaying information to users and other text-based manipulations. The techniques also are appropriate for developing text editors, word processors, page-layout software, computerized typesetting systems and other kinds of text-processing software. We have already presented several string- processing capabilities in the text. This chapter discusses in detail the capabilities of class String, class StringBuffer and class Character from the java.lang package and class StringTokenizer from the java.utilpackage. These classes provide the foundation for string and character manipulation in Java. Copyright 1992 2002 by Deitel & Associates, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 7/7/01
