Processes one String, returns it as an array of Strings

		// see the chapter on Java Collections.
		List results = new ArrayList();

		// Unless you ask StringTokenizer to give you the tokens,
		// it silently discards multiple null tokens.
		StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(line, DELIM, true);

		int i = 0;
		// Stuff each token into the ArrayList
		while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
			String s = st.nextToken();
			if (s.equals(DELIM)) {

				// But do insert something for consecutive delimiters
				if (results.size() < ++i)
					results.add(null);
				continue;
			}

		// Make an Array just the right size, ask the
		// ArrayList to copy its data into it, and return it.
		String[] sResults = new String[results.size()];
