Answer 1

The regex you should use is "\^" which you write as "\\^" as a Java String literal; i.e.

String[] parts = "Good^Evening".split("\\^");

The regex needs a '\' escape because the caret character ('^') is a meta-character in the regex language. The 2nd '\' escape is needed because '\' is an escape in a String literal.
