Scala: Splitting with Double Quotes (“”) vs Single Quotes ('')

Question

I am splitting a String in Scala with Comma using Double Quotes, like this:

scala> val a = \"a,b,c\"
a: String = a,b,c

scala> a.split(\",\")
res0: Arr         


        

Answer 1

Pipe (|) is a metacharacter in regex. You'd need to escape it:

scala> a.split("\\|")
res1: Array[String] = Array(a, b, c)
