#Stringtokenizer not recognizing " as delimiter

StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(row, "; ()\"", true);
the code correctly separates tokens with spaces, semicolons and parenthesis, but won't separate the quotation marks. Online it says to escape it, which to my understanding is the \" but for some reason when i execute it, it doesn't separate the quotation marks from the rest of the string

Maybe you're encountering quotation marks with a different unicode value? like ” instead of "

i realized that because im reading from an input file, there are no backslashes before the quotation marks, and im guessing that is whats tripping it up

#

its reading from a txt file so i think its the same

Backslashes inside your text file wouldn't change anything - \" is just registered as a single " inside a Java String, it's needed otherwise it'd indicate the end of the String.

#

/run

String a = "\"";
System.out.println(a);

i put the txt file in my ide and changed the quotation marks and it seems to work now so you were right about the unicode, thanks
