How to get currentPosition of a StringTokenizer object

[Geir Arnesen]

I have an object instansiated from the StringTokenizer class. This class/object
has a privat property currentPosition. For my application I need to get hold
of this offsett telling where in the input string I am at a current stage
the parsing. How to I get access to the currentPosition???

rgds.

Hello Geir:

Subclass StringTokenizer and add a public getter for currentPosition:

public class MyStringTokenizer extends java.util.StringTokenizer{

public MyStringTokenizer(s){
super(s);
}

public MyStringTokenizer(s, d){
super(s, d);
}

public MyStringTokenizer(s, d, b){
super(s, d, b);
}

public int getCurrentPosition(){
return this.currentPosition;
}
}

This class assumes that currentPosition is an int - which I don't know off
the top of my head. If it is not an int, then substitute the appropriate
data type in the method signature.

Hope this helps.

Sorry, - but this gives me upon compile time "Error: (21) variable currentPosition
has private access in class java.util.StringTokenizer.

Any better clues??
