String to Array conversion, help please

[JavaStudent07]

Is it possible to convert a String into an Array? If so could you please guide me on the process of doing so? It would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve

Do you mean an array of characters? If so,

String name = "John Doe";
char[] name2 = new char[name.length()];
for (int i = 0; i < name.length(); i++) name2[i] = name.charAt(i);

an alternative technique is to use method toCharArray() from class String

   String s="hello";
   char ch[]= s.toCharArray();

You can be assured that both methods will work.
