How to read odd number position words

Question

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;

public class Example {

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException 
{
File fis=new File("D:/Testcode/Test.txt");
BufferedReader br;
String input;
String var = null;
if(fis.isAbsolute())
{
br=new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fis.getAbsolutePath()));
while ((input=br.readLine())!=null) {
var=input;
}
}   
//String var="Duminy to Warner, OUT, Duminy gets a wicket again. He has been breaking...
if(var!=null)
{
String splitstr[]=var.split(",");
if(splitstr[0].contains("to"))
{
String ss=splitstr[0];
String a[]=ss.split("\\s+");
int value=splitstr[0].indexOf("to");
System.out.println("Subject:"+splitstr[0].substring(0,value));
System.out.println("Object:"+splitstr[0].substring(value+2));
System.out.println("Event:"+splitstr[1]);
int count=var.indexOf(splitstr[2]);
System.out.println("Narrated Information:"+var.substring(count));
}   
}
}
}

The above program shown the following output: Subject:Duminy Object: Warner Event: OUT Narrated Information: Duminy gets a wicket again. He has been breaking....

my question is, the text may contain example "Dumto to Warner, OUT, Duminy gets a wicket again. He has been breaking..." means, the above program wouldn't show output like above.. how to identity the text after the space for checking the condition

You provided the example result you want but you didn't explain what is the purpose of your program... I can give you a solution that retrieves those strings getting the text on position X and still comply what you have asked for... — AlfaTeK, Mar 03 '14 at 12:50

You can read like this, but this is not encouraged. Take care.

    File read=new File("D:\\Test.txt");
    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(read),Charset.forName("UTF-8")));
    String news = reader.readLine();
    news = news.replace(",", "");
    String[] names = news.split(" ", 6);

    System.out.println("First String : "+names[0]+" "+names[1]);
    System.out.println("Second String : "+names[3]);
    System.out.println("Third String : "+names[4]);
    System.out.println("Fourth String : "+names[5]);

+1 - If you added `news = news.replace(",", "");` after readLine() and replaced `.split(" ");` with `.split(" ", 6);` this would be almost exactly what they asked for. If your quite alright with it, I will edit it into your answer. – Rudi Kershaw Mar 03 '14 at 12:35

You have to find the first happening of " to ". All before it is the first string. All after it is the string with which we go on:
You have to find the first and the second happening of ",", thus dividing the remaining string into three parts: before first "," between "," "," and after the second ",".
The first part becomes the second string.
The second part becomes the third string.
The third part becomes the fourth string.
