Split a String In Java against the split rule?

Question

I have a string like this:

String str=""myValue"."Folder"."FolderCentury"";

Is it possible to split the above string by . but instead of getting three resulting strings only two like:

columnArray[0]= "myValue"."Folder";
columnArray[1]= "FolderCentury";

Or do I have to use an other java method to get it done?

Answer 1

Try this.

     String s = "myValue.Folder.FolderCentury";
     String[] a = s.split(java.util.regex.Pattern.quote("."));

Hi programmer/Yannish,

First of all the split(".") will not work and this will not return any result. I think java String split method not work for . delimiter, so please try java.util.regex.Pattern.quote(".") instead of split(".")
