How would i add a tokenizer to this code?

I have had experience with tokenizers, but not sure how to add it to the following piece of code... can anyone help?

Code:

---

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.IOException;
 
public class ReadTextFileExample
{
       
        public void getScore()
        {
                File file = new File("scores.txt");
                StringBuffer contents = new StringBuffer();
                BufferedReader reader = null;
               
                try
                {
                        reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
                        String text = null;
                       
                        //repeat ten times.
                       
            while ((text = reader.readLine()) != null)
                        {
                                contents.append(text).append(System.getProperty("line.separator"));
                        }
                }
                catch(FileNotFoundException e)
                {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                }
                catch(IOException e)
                {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                }
                finally
                {
            try
            {
                if (reader != null)
                {
                    reader.close();
                }
            }
           
            catch (IOException e)
            {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
                }
               
                // show file contents here
        System.out.println(contents.toString());
                }
        }

The code gives the following output...

the reason i need to use tokenizers, is to separate the names, and scores... thanks...

If you mean StringTokenizer, then I recommend that you don't use it. Sun have declared it a legacy class (though, oddly, not deprecated) and suggest that String.split(..) is used, or classes in the java.util.regex package.

If the delimiter is a space, text.split(" ") will give you an array of the delimited tokens.
