Try using the split("\\s") method to split the string into an array and then do a reverse loop through its elements.

You don't have to use the StringTokenizer class.

What do you mean by this? Does the above program compile? If not, what errors do you get? If it does, what happens when you try to run it? It would help if you show us the output you get and explain how it differs from what you expect.

If you provide details like this, we will be more than happy to help you track down your problems and find solutions to them.

Keep Coding!

as mentioned above, you can use the split() method to split the string based on the empty spaces.

san,

there is one more way... do the following

for example you have a string like


String str = "This is my String ";
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(str);
str = ((StringBuffer)sb.reverse()).toString();


your string is now reversed

Shailesh :
your code does not produce the result San is looking for. output would be

gnirtS ym si sihT


instead of

String my is This


and the Cast to StringBuffer is not required. This will compile (but not produce what San is looking for :-) )

Try This:
---------------------------------------
import java.util.*;

public class StringReverse {

public static void main(String args[]){

String myStr = "This is the string";
Vector v = new Vector();

System.out.println("Original String: "+myStr);

StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(myStr);


while(st.hasMoreTokens()){

v.insertElementAt(st.nextToken(),0);
}

// at this point we have the words in a vector.

System.out.print("Reversed String: ");
for(int size=0;size<v.size();size++){
System.out.print(v.elementAt(size)+" ");
}


}

}
