CodingForums.com - View Single Post - Java: I Can't pass a string variable into array?

fillIt=new String (theSntnc.getText());

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the "new String( ... )" unnecessary?

sntncArray[wrdCnt]=sntnc.substring(0,x-1);

I believe substring excludes the last index you specify. Therefore, the -1 will probably return one less character than you want per word.

I'm a little out of practice with Java so I can't dissect your code (however small it is) ATM, and my suggestions probably won't fix your problem. I'll continue looking at it though

. However, if this is purely for personal experimentation (and not something you plan to put on the internet where nobody is guaranteed to have JRE 1.4), the String object has had a split(String regex) method since 1.4.
