How to declare person object, with string after I split it using toSplit() method?

peckie :

I made the strings for itself, like:

johnName = parts[0]
johnSurname = parts[1]
.
.
.

But what if I had 100 people instead of 3? So how do I put the String array values to an object?

String text = "John.Davidson/05051988/Belgrade Michael.Barton/01011968/Krakov Ivan.Perkinson/23051986/Moscow";
    String[] parts = text.split("[./ ]+" );

    String johnIme = parts[0];
    String johnPrezime = parts[1];
    String johnDatum = parts[2];
    String johnMesto = parts[3];

    String michaelIme = parts[4];
    String michaelPrezime = parts[5];
    String michaelDatum = parts[6];
    String michaelMesto = parts[7];

    String ivanIme = parts[8];
    String ivanPrezime = parts[9];
    String ivanDatum = parts[10];
    String ivanMesto = parts[11];


    Person john = new Person(johnIme, johnPrezime, datumJohn, johnMesto);
    Person michael = new Person(michaelIme,michaelPrezime,datumMichael ,michaelMesto);
    Person ivan = new Person(ivanIme,ivanPrezime,datumIvan ,ivanMesto);

Person:
Ime: John
Prezime: Davidson
Datum: 1988-05-05
Mesto: Belgrade

Person:
Ime: Michael
Prezime: Barton
Datum: 1968-01-01
Mesto: Krakov

Person:
Ime: Ivan
Prezime: Perkinson
Datum: 1986-05-23
Mesto: Moscow

T.J. Crowder :

You'd use a loop and an array of Person (or a List<Person> if you prefer):

// ASSERTION: parts.length % 4 == 0
Person[] people = new Person[parts.length / 4];
int peopleIndex = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < parts.length; i += 4) {
    people[peopleIndex++] = new Person(parts[i], parts[i + 1], parts[i + 2], parts[i + 3]);
}

I suppose you don't even really need peopleIndex:

// ASSERTION: parts.length % 4 == 0
Person[] people = new Person[parts.length / 4];
for (int i = 0; i < parts.length; i += 4) {
    people[i / 4] = new Person(parts[i], parts[i + 1], parts[i + 2], parts[i + 3]);
}

Using a List<Person>:

// ASSERTION: parts.length % 4 == 0
List<Person> people = new LinkedList<>(); // Or new ArrayList<>(parts.length / 4), or...
for (int i = 0; i < parts.length; i += 4) {
    people.push(new Person(parts[i], parts[i + 1], parts[i + 2], parts[i + 3]));
}
