how to split string by space but escape spaces inside quotes (in java)? [duplicate]

Answer 1

this should do the job for you:

   final String s = "\"Video or movie\"    \"parent\"    \"Media or entertainment\"    \"1\" \"1\" \"1\" \"0\" \"0\"";
        final String[] t = s.split("(?<=\") *(?=\")");
        for (final String x : t) {
            System.out.println(x);
        }

output:

"Video or movie"
"parent"
"Media or entertainment"
"1"
"1"
"1"
"0"
"0"
