I have a method that reads in names from a .txt file into an array.

The names are full names for example, one String in the array would be, "Billy Harold Jackson"

How do I take that array (in a whole new other method) and split those names up using a StringTokenizer?

The method that I need to split up these names is before the method that reads these names in.

Does that matter?

I am confused.

I did

StringTokenizer gin = new StringTokenizer (names, " ");

that doesnt work

names is the name of the array that the method read in.

Did you even read the API?

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/StringTokenizer.html

Quote
The following is one example of the use of the tokenizer. The code:

    StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer("this is a test");
    while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
        System.out.println(st.nextToken());
    }

prints the following output:

    this
    is
    a
    test

StringTokenizer is a legacy class that is retained for compatibility reasons although its use is discouraged in new code. It is recommended that anyone seeking this functionality use the split method of String or the java.util.regex package instead.

Code
String[] tokens = name.split( " " );


if name = Billy Harold Jackson

tokens[0] = Billy
tokens[1] = Harold
tokens[2] = Jackson

Yes. Or just use String.split instead.

u could split the strings by the "/n" which i think is the new line character, and it may be different if you don't save the .txt file with notepad
