How to split a string in Java
To split a string we need to use the String.split() method by passing a regular expression as an argument in Java.
Here is an example which splits the string by a delimiter dot .
String name = "code.examples";
String[] output = name.split("\\."));
System.out.println(output[0]);
System.out.println(output[1]);Output:
code
examplesNote: The period/dot is a special character in regex so that we have used double backslashes (
\\) to escape it.
Other example:
String phone = "1334-345-5465";
String[] output = phone.split("-");
System.out.println(output[0]);
System.out.println(output[1]);
System.out.println(output[2]);Output:
1334
345
