Java Array Parsing -

lets have string array called ar1, ar1[x] "harry potter"

now lets have string array called ar2, want ar2[x] equal "harry". how this?

here tried, did not work.

string ar2[] = new string[10]; int x = 0;         while(x<9){         ar2[x] = ar1[x].split(" ").tostring();         x++;         system.out.println(ar2[x]);}}} 

the out put 9 null's.

it looks you're calling tostring() on string array. 'split()' method returns string array, , want first element in array resulting split.

it looks want this:

    string ar2[] = new string[ar1.length]; //better if not hard coded 10     int x = 0;             while(x < ar1.length){             string[] temp = ar1[x].split(" ");             ar2[x] = temp[0];             x++; //moved in initial edit fix null printing      }       //moved printing code out of loop populating array occurs       (int = 0; < ar2.length; i++){             system.out.println(ar2[i]);      }
