This method has two variants and splits this string around matches of the given regular expression.
Syntax:
Here is the syntax of this method:
public String[] split(String regex, int limit) or public String[] split(String regex)
Parameters:
Here is the detail of parameters:
- regex — the delimiting regular expression.
- limit — the result threshold which means how many strings to be returned.
Return Value:
- It returns the array of strings computed by splitting this string around matches of the given regular expression.
Example:
import java.io.*; public class Test{ public static void main(String args[]){ String Str = new String("Welcome-to-Dineshonjava.com"); System.out.println("Return Value :" ); for (String retval: Str.split("-", 2)){ System.out.println(retval); } System.out.println(""); System.out.println("Return Value :" ); for (String retval: Str.split("-", 3)){ System.out.println(retval); } System.out.println(""); System.out.println("Return Value :" ); for (String retval: Str.split("-", 0)){ System.out.println(retval); } System.out.println(""); System.out.println("Return Value :" ); for (String retval: Str.split("-")){ System.out.println(retval); } } }
This produces following result:
Return Value :
