Split will not work fine for this string
[1, 2, [3, 4, 5], 6]
Since this is a multidimensional Vector.
Main Topics
Browse All TopicsFor the below program I will get the output as
[1, 2, [3, 4, 5], 6]
First I will create a vector then convert it to string.
Now what I have to do is convert this string back to vector.
Thanks.

Hi sandeep,
1. The delimeter shall not be comma(,) because it's a valid character of filename on some OS, pipe(|) is ok.
2. [ and ] are also valid for filename. Change to <> is ok.
3. File structure as above is ok. You can parse it recursively. A <> represents a Vector.
If you don't mind what format in a file, you may consider another approach, serializing (or saving) a vector to file http://www.java2s.com/Code
I think, [1, 2, [3, 4, 5], 6] is getting generated from calling vector.toString() function..
toString() function of vector will simply iterates over the elements of Vector and call its toString() functions inturn, and separates each element with ",".
If the elements itself contains characters "[" ,"]" or "," then its difficult to get back the vector from string...
Create an instance of this from your root directory and serialize it as i mentioned in your other q:

Split with String split() api.. which returns an array.
Create a vector from array.. again..
