Java - Split and trim in one shot

Question

I have a String like this : String attributes = \" foo boo, faa baa, fii bii,\" I want to get a result like this :

String[] result = {\"foo boo\         


        

Answer 1

If there is no text between the commas, the following expression will not create empty elements:

String result[] = attributes.trim().split("\\s*,+\\s*,*\\s*");
