import java.io.*;

public class ParseSeparatedData{
  public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
  BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
  System.out.print("Enter string for finding separated data: ");
  String string = in.readLine();
  String[] str = string.split("[, ]+(and|or)*[ ]");
  for (int i = 0; i < str.length; i++){
  System.out.println(str[i]);
  }
