Regular Expressions

I have been really struggling with regular expressions, can anyone tell
me how I would split up a string around the spaces and newlines.
Basically I want every word to be put into a string array but not the
spaces (which is what I am getting now).

Sounds like you need to use the StringTokeniser class

You might also look at the split method

Also you can collapse white space to a single space first.

string.replaceAll("\\s+"," ").split(" ")
This will return a String array of the tokens

Not the best advice. From the docs:
"StringTokenizer is a legacy class that is retained for compatibility
reasons although its use is discouraged in new code. It is recommended that
anyone sing this functionality use the split method of String or the
java.util.regex package instead."

See my other post.

Why add the extra step?
string.split("\\s+");
