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

You need to escape the backslash:

direct.split("\\\\");

Once for a java string and once for the regex.

Answer 2

I guess u can use the StringTokenizer library

String directory="C:\home\public\folder"; 
String [] dir=direct.split("\");
StringTokenizer token = new StringTokenizer(directory, '\');
while(token.hasTokens()
{
    String s = token.next();
}

This may not be completely correct syntactically but Hopefully this will help.

Answer 3

String[] a1 = "abc bcd"
String[] seperate = a1.split(" ");
String finalValue = seperate[0];
System.out.pritln("Final string is :" + finalValue);

This will give the result as abc

Answer 4

You need to escape it.

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

Edit: or Use Pattern.quote method.

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