Converting a sentence string to a string array of words in Java

Question

I need my Java program to take a string like:

\"This is a sample sentence.\"

and turn it into a string array like:

{\"this\         


        

Answer 1

The easiest and best answer I can think of is to use the following method defined on the java string -

String[] split(String regex)

And just do "This is a sample sentence".split(" "). Because it takes a regex, you can do more complicated splits as well, which can include removing unwanted punctuation and other such characters.
