/**
* The string tokenizer class allows an application to break a string into
* tokens.
* More information about this class is available from <a target="_top" href=
* "http://ostermiller.org/utils/StringTokenizer.html">ostermiller.org</a>.
* <p>
* The tokenization method is much simpler than the one used by the
* <code>StreamTokenizer</code> class. The <code>StringTokenizer</code> methods
* do not distinguish among identifiers, numbers, and quoted strings, nor do
* they recognize and skip comments.
* <p>
* The set of delimiters (the characters that separate tokens) may be specified
* either at creation time or on a per-token basis.
* <p>
* There are two kinds of delimiters: token delimiters and non-token delimiters.
* A token is either one token delimiter character, or a maximal sequence of
* consecutive characters that are not delimiters.
* <p>
* A <code>StringTokenizer</code> object internally maintains a current
* position within the string to be tokenized. Some operations advance this
* current position past the characters processed.
* <p>
* The implementation is not thread safe; if a <code>StringTokenizer</code>
* object is intended to be used in multiple threads, an appropriate wrapper
* must be provided.
* <p>
* The following is one example of the use of the tokenizer. It also
* demonstrates the usefulness of having both token and non-token delimiters in
* one <code>StringTokenizer</code>.
* <p>
* The code:
* <blockquote><code>
* String s = " ( aaa \t * (b+c1 ))";<br>
* StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(s, " \t\n\r\f", "()+*");<br>
* while (tokenizer.hasMoreTokens()) {<br>
* System.out.println(tokenizer.nextToken());<br>
* };
* </code></blockquote>
* <p>
* prints the following output:
* <blockquote>
* (<br>
* aaa<br>
* *<br>
* (<br>
* b<br>
* +<br>
* c1<br>
* )<br>
* )
* </blockquote>
* <p>
* </b>Compatibility with <code>java.util.StringTokenizer</code></b>
* <p>
* In the original version of <code>java.util.StringTokenizer</code>, the method
* <code>nextToken()</code> left the current position after the returned token,
* and the method <code>hasMoreTokens()</code> moved (as a side effect) the
* current position before the beginning of the next token. Thus, the code:
* <blockquote><code>
* String s = "x=a,b,c";<br>
* java.util.StringTokenizer tokenizer = new java.util.StringTokenizer(s,"=");<br>
* System.out.println(tokenizer.nextToken());<br>
* while (tokenizer.hasMoreTokens()) {<br>
* System.out.println(tokenizer.nextToken(","));<br>
* };
* </code></blockquote>
* <p>
* prints the following output:
* <blockquote>
* x<br>
* a<br>
* b<br>
* c
* </blockquote>
* <p>
* The Java SDK 1.3 implementation removed the undesired side effect of
* <code>hasMoreTokens</code> method: now, it does not advance current position.
* However, after these changes the output of the above code was:
* <blockquote>
* x<br>
* =a<br>
* b<br>
* c
* </blockquote>
* <p>
* and there was no good way to produce a second token without "=".
* <p>
* To solve the problem, this implementation introduces a new method
* <code>skipDelimiters()</code>. To produce the original output, the above code
* should be modified as:
* <blockquote><code>
* String s = "x=a,b,c";<br>
* StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(s,"=");<br>
* System.out.println(tokenizer.nextToken());<br>
* tokenizer.skipDelimiters();<br>
* while (tokenizer.hasMoreTokens()) {<br>
* System.out.println(tokenizer.nextToken(","));<br>
* };
* </code></blockquote>
