String Tokenization

In Java there is a class called StringTokenizer that splits a String in
to pieces, breaking on a set of specified delimiters. I need to do the
same thing in ST, splitting the search path on semicolons. Here's what I
ended up doing:

oc := OrderedCollection new.
path := SessionManager current getenv: #path.
rs := path readStream.
[rs atEnd] whileFalse: [oc add: (rs upTo: $;)].

While this works, I can't help thinking there's a better way. I looked
at the String class but didn't see anything that looked like what I
wanted. Is this what everyone does, or is there a better way?

Try it:

path := SessionManager current getenv: #path.
oc := path subStrings: ';'.

Sincerely,
Dmitry

In article <9gt1p2$eat$[hidden email]>,
[hidden email] says...

> path := SessionManager current getenv: #path.
> oc := path subStrings: ';'.

    Good grief. How did I miss that? Thanks, that's exactly what I
needed...

Joey,

I have written a little class <StringTokenizer>, which might be useful,
since it is somewhat more flexible, than the built in method.
It also has a subclass <ArithmeticTokenizer>, which scans *very*
simple arithmetic expressions. This is restricted to 1 character wide
terminal symbols. So a*(b+c)/d works, while x == y doesn't.
The latter results in #('x' '=' '=' 'y').

bye
Ingo
