Java Split String Example showing special characters or regular expressions (regex):
Sometimes we need to split String in java, which contains the special characters such as '(', '*' , '&', '<' , '^' etc., .
Now we will see how to split them in java.
The following example shows how to split a special characters '(', '*'.
Example: Splitspecialcharacter.java
package
com.practice.corejava;
public class Splitspecialcharacter {
public static
void main(String[] args) {
String
str = "CLOTHS(10*12*13*7)";
String[]
mystr = str.split("\\(");
System.out.println("Splitted
string After the special character '(':");
for(String str2 : mystr){
//Displaying the string after splitting it after the
special character '('
System.out.println(str2);
if(str2.contains("*")){
String[]
tempString = str2.split("\\*");
System.out.println("Splitted
string after the special character
'*':");
for(String temp: tempString){
//Displaying the string after splitting it after the
special
character '*'
System.out.println("
"+temp);
}
}
}
}
}
Now we will run the above example in eclipse and see the output as follows:
Console:
Split After the special character '(':
CLOTHS
10*12*13*7)
Spliting after the special character '*':
10
12
13
7)
