// Here is a full example: // (Its "full" in that it compiles but doesn't demo all capabilities) import java.util.Scanner; class Demo { public static final void main(String[] args) { final String sentence = "Good morning, to you"; System.out.println("sentence=" + sentence ); Scanner scan = new Scanner(sentence); while (scan.hasNext()) { String word = scan.next(); System.out.println("word=" + word); } } }

Output:

sentence=Good morning, to you word=Good word=morning, // Notice the comma is included word=to word=you
