Well, i see how that helps, but it still leaves me lost. While in school, Arrays totally confused me. I know i have to set some arrays, but i just dont know where.

I'll be the first to admit, im not good at java at all. I have the first part done with JOptionPane and everything, but when it comes to the if else statement where i have to find the commas, im done. Any help is appreciated.

I have this program that i need to get done for school, and i am utterly lost. If someone could help me with it, the help would be greatly appreciated.

heres the template i was given:

public class StringParse
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Variable for user input

// get the input from a user and remove the leading and trailing white spaces
// send the string to a method for manipulation

} // end main


public static void createAddress ( String address)
{
// variable for array of type string ( make it large enough to hold 35 strings)

// create a variable to hold a line of the address

// create a variable to hold an individual word or comma

// create a variable to hold the index of a space in a string

// create a variable to hold the index of the next comma in your string

// set a variable to be the index of your array and initialize it




// use a loop to go through the string -- a while loop that looks at the size of the string

while( ) // loop through the string while it is not empty
{
// remove white space

// look for the first comma in the string and set a variable with that value


// if you find a comma you need to pull off the part before it
if ( )
{
// if no comma is found you are at the last line
// set your variable to your entire string
// set your address string to empty
}
else
{
// otherwise you need to pull off the part up to the comma
// this will represent one line of the address
}


// while the part you removed has at least 1 character
while( )
{
// trim the current part

// find the first [space] in the string

// if no space is found than your string only contains the last word
// or character in that line of the address
// if it has a space you will need to pull the part of before the space


if ( )// no space found
{
// you will need to remove the empty spaces
// and enter that string into your array of strings
// set current part = to an empty string
}
else // space found
{
// pull off one word form the set
// set value in array
}

// remove the part of the user input that you have used already
// and entered into the array --basically your first line

// increment array variable


} // end while loop

// save the commas in the array
// this would be the comma that was at the end of the string you
// pulled of previously

// increment the array counter

// set the string to the remaining part not used yet
// you have a variable that knows where the comma is
// so use the substring method

} // end while

// Print out the array in proper format using a for loop
// to get through the array
// remember to return the line where you find a comma
// but do not print the comma

for ( ) // loop through the array you filled
{
if ( ) // you find a comma print something

else
// print something else
}// end for loop



} // end the method

} // end the class
