read Java basics. I guess all you need to initialize perhaps. String[] words1 = new String[5] that's all. don't use conflicting name like Words1, and words1. Also variables start with small letter. – Nishant Sep 7 '12 at 5:22

I think perhaps what you are looking for is:

String words = "one two three four five";
String[] words1 = words.split(" ");

The exact answer will be using split() function as everyone suggested:

String words = "one, two, three, four, five";
String words1[] = words.split(", ");

Try this,

 String word = " one, two, three, four, five";        
 String words[] = word.split(",");
 for (int i = 0; i < words.length; i++) {
     System.out.println(words[i]);
 }

if you need to remove space, you can call .trim(); method through the loop.

Here i code something may it helpful to you just take a look.

import java.util.StringTokenizer;

public class StringTokenizing
{
 public static void main(String s[])
 {
   String Input="hi hello how are you";
 int i=0;
   StringTokenizer Token=new StringTokenizer(Input," ");
   String MyArray[]=new String[Token.countTokens()];
   while(Token.hasMoreElements())
   {
    MyArray[i]=Token.nextToken();
    System.out.println(MyArray[i]);
    i++;
