Delimiter with Java line of Input

Question

Hopefully this is very simple for someone, but I can't seem to work it out.

Trying to use an input of:

addperson jsmith,john,smith

So far I have used two Scanner objects with different delimiters, but I can't get it to work.
I don't want to scan whole line and split string.

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class Delim
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
        Scanner inputCommand = new Scanner(System.in);
        input.useDelimiter(",");
        inputCommand.useDelimiter(" ");
        System.out.println("Enter a username: (format username,name, surname)");
        list.add(inputCommand.next());               
        list.add(input.next());
        list.add(input.next());
        list.add(input.next());
        System.out.println("//debug: command " + list.get(0));
        printName(list);


    }

    static void printName(ArrayList arr)
    {
        System.out.println("username: " + arr.get(1) + "\nname: " + arr.get(2) + "\nsurname: " + arr.get(3));
    }
}

Solution

You can use a single scanner with a custom delimiter:

input.useDelimiter("[,\\s]");

This makes the delimiter either a comma or a whitespace character.

So, your overall program would be:

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class Delim
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
        input.useDelimiter("[,\\s]");
        System.out.println("Enter a username: (format username,name,surname)");
        list.add(input.next());               
        list.add(input.next());
        list.add(input.next());
        list.add(input.next());
        System.out.println(list);
        System.out.println("//debug: command " + list.get(0));
        printName(list);


    }

    static void printName(ArrayList arr)
    {
        System.out.println("username: " + arr.get(1) + "\nname: " + arr.get(2) + "\nsurname: " + arr.get(3));
    }
}
