Very new to java, and I'm using jOptionPane right now.
I'm supposed to prompt for the users first and last name, and output just the first name. No f***ing clue how to do that.
I know how to get it to output both in a dialog box.
Any help will be appreciated.
that's me code so far.
public class Program313
{
public static void main( String [ ] args )
{
String name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog( null,
"Please enter your first and last names");
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog( null, "Hello, " + name);
}
}

I feel like those two things are a bit more advanced than where I am.
these are the directions.
Write a program that reads a full name from a dialogbox; you should expect the first and last name to be separated by a space. Retrieve the first name and output it.

He's already done that, he's asking how to parse a string using a space as a delimiter.
Alb, here's a code example of what Poit referenced using split: link

That helps me, thanks. I guess I needed to see it laid out in a code example, heh.

Don't sweat it, you'll find that a lot as you get used to syntax and whatnot. The Java documentation is a fantastic resource and very well done, but often you don't quite know the right question to ask when you're starting out.
