Java: split() returns [Ljava.lang.String;@186d4c1], why?

Question

And i have no idea why!

I bascially have a STRING (yes, not an array), that has the following contents:

[something, something else, somoething, trall         


        

Answer 1

When you do toString on an Array, you just get the internal representation. Not that useful. Try Arrays.toString(what comes back from split) for something more readable.
