Java. How can I split a string with multiple spaces on every nth space? [duplicate]

Answer 1

You could do:

String[] stringArray = string.split("(?<!\\G\\S+)\\s");

Answer 2

While this is possible to use split to solve it like this one I strongly suggest using more readable way with Pattern and Matcher classes. Here is one of examples to solve it:

String string="Hello My Name Is The Mighty Llama";
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("\\S+(\\s\\S+)?");
Matcher m = p.matcher(string);
while (m.find())
    System.out.println(m.group());

output:

Hello My
Name Is
The Mighty
Llama
