Splitting strings from file

Question

I need to split these from a file.

ale:pass:5
joe:maintain:35

i tried several things already, but it stills displays the same text;
ale:pass:5
joe:maintain:35

how can I display it separately?

Answer 1

use split method on the string with ":" delimiter

docs:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#split%28java.lang.String,%20int%29

example:
public class Program
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
String str="ale:pass:5";
System.out.println(str.split(":")[2]);
}
}

output: 5

Answer 2

str.split(":")[x]

just switch x with 0 or 1 or better yet, do it in a loop

Answer 3

i need to display the 1st two things as well
