Example 1:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate setText() method import java.text.*; import java.util.*; import java.io.*; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] argv) { // creating and initializing BreakIterator BreakIterator wb = BreakIterator.getWordInstance(); // setting text for BreakIterator // using setText() method wb.setText( "Code Geeks" ); // getting the text being scanned by // using getText() method StringCharacterIterator text = (StringCharacterIterator)wb.getText(); // display the result System.out.print( "Retrieved text is : " + text.first()); for ( int i = text.getBeginIndex() - 1 ; i < text.getEndIndex() - 2 ; i++) System.out.print(text.next()); } } |
Retrieved text is : Code Geeks
Example 2:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate setText() method import java.text.*; import java.util.*; import java.io.*; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] argv) { // creating and initializing BreakIterator BreakIterator wb = BreakIterator.getWordInstance(); // setting text for BreakIterator // using setText() method wb.setText( "GeeksForGeeks" ); // getting the text being scanned by // using getText() method StringCharacterIterator text = (StringCharacterIterator)wb.getText(); // display the result System.out.print( "Retrieved text is : " + text.first()); for ( int i = text.getBeginIndex() - 1 ; i < text.getEndIndex() - 2 ; i++) System.out.print(text.next()); } } |
