how to split the string in java

Question

how to split the string in java in Windows? I used Eg.

String directory=\"C:\\home\\public\\folder\";
String [] dir=direct.split(\"\\\");
         


        

Answer 1

split() function in Java accepts regular expressions. So, what you exactly need to do is to escape the backslash character twice:

String[] dir=direct.split("\\\\");

One for Java, and one for regular expressions.
