Split string with | separator in java

Question

I have a string that\'s like this: 1|\"value\"|;

I want to split that string and have chosen | as the separator.

My code looks like

Answer 1

Try this: String[] separated = line.split("\\|");

My answer is better. I corrected the spelling of "separated" :)

Also, the reason this works? | means "OR" in regex. You need to escape it.
