The split() method of the String class accepts a regular expression, splits the current input text into tokens and returns them as a string array.
Example
import java.util.Scanner; public class Example{ public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("Enter input text: "); String input = sc.nextLine(); String[] strArray = input.split("\\d"); for (int i=0; i<strArray.length; i++) { System.out.println(strArray[i]); } } }
Output
Enter input text: 1Ramu 2Raju 3Radha 4Rahman 5Rachel Ramu Raju Radha Rahman Rachel
Splitting a string using Java.util.regex package −
Example
You can also spilt a String using the split() method of the patter class. this method accepts a string and splits it into tokens based on the underlying regular expressions and returns them as a string array.
import java.util.Scanner; import java.util.regex.Pattern; public class SplittingString{ public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("Enter input text: "); String input = sc.nextLine(); String regex = "\\d"; //Creating a pattern object Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(regex); String[] strArray = pattern.split(input); for (int i=0; i<strArray.length; i++) { System.out.println(strArray[i]); } } }
Output
Enter input text: 1Ramu 2Raju 3Radha 4Rahman 5Rachel Ramu Raju Radha Rahman Rachel
