How would i add a tokenizer to this code?

[Slippy]

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

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...

John 5000
Lewis 3000
Eamon 2000
Leam 1000

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.
