delimiter in java,如何在Java中与Scanner.useDelimiter一起使用定界符？

sc = new Scanner(new File(dataFile));

sc.useDelimiter(",|\r\n");

I don't understand how delimiter works, can someone explain this in layman terms?

解决方案

The scanner can also use delimiters other than whitespace.

Easy example from Scanner API:

String input = "1 fish 2 fish red fish blue fish";

// \\s* means 0 or more repetitions of any whitespace character

// fish is the pattern to find

Scanner s = new Scanner(input).useDelimiter("\\s*fish\\s*");

System.out.println(s.nextInt()); // prints: 1

System.out.println(s.nextInt()); // prints: 2

System.out.println(s.next()); // prints: red

System.out.println(s.next()); // prints: blue

// don't forget to close the scanner!!

s.close();

The point is to understand the regular expressions (regex) inside the Scanner::useDelimiter. Find an useDelimiter tutorial here.

To start with regular expressions here you can find a nice tutorial.
