string problem

[alkku15]

i have a textfield... my string is this 

public String nameofloot = "";

now i can only type 1 item name (for example "Shark"), if i try to type "Shark, Rune platebody, Air rune", it takes that whole line as 1 item, how to seperate and make the script understand that if i put a "," between 2 words it means 2 different words?

btnNewButton.addActionListener(e -> nameofloot = textField.getText()); //gets the text from food textfield part

and thats how i get the text from the textfield to a string

You should probably make it an Array of String (Arrays hold multiple instances)

public String[] nameOfLoot;

And split the content of your text field on your comma separator

btnNewButton.addActionListener(e -> nameOfLoot = textField.getText().split(","));
