Java: Find string in array list -

my arraylist consists of array list of strings, each string inside separated commas, want split 1 of strings substrings divided commas, know how arrays using split method, im having trouble finding similar array lists, heres code:

string[] widgets2 =          {              "1,john,smith,john1989@gmail.com,20,88,79,59",             "2,suzan,erickson,erickson_1990@gmailcom,19,91,72,85",             "3,jack,napoli,the_lawyer99yahoo.com,19,85,84,87",             "4,erin,black,erin.black@comcast.net,22,91,98,82",             "5,adan,ramirez,networkturtle66@gmail.com,100,100,100"          };           arraylist<string> jim = new arraylist<string>(arrays.aslist(widgets2));  system.out.println(jim.split(0)); 

it similar arrays. implementation different. values loop through them:

list<string> jim = new arraylist<string>(arrays.aslist(widgets2)); for(string currentstring : jim){//arraylist looping  string[] separatedstrings = currentstring.split(",");     for(string separatedstring : separatedstrings){//now array looping        //do whatever     } } 

if want have index , decide value get, use normal for loop using index , use jim.get(index) , use split().

having said that, stops looping through list ? it's common usage of array list - loop through :)
