Java - splitting a string?

Question

G'day,

I was just wondering if this is a simple way to split a string where whitespaces appear, I was going to use the split method of the String class however its regex input requires a valid character which ' ' is not one of those, is there any way to achieve this???

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated,

David

ps - just in case my wording was confusing, Im looking to do the following

take a String say "hello david"

and perform an operation so that I return either a list/ array/ etc of the form,

["hello","david"]

Answer 1

myArray = myString.split("\\s+");

Answer 2

Hey you have tried to give it as str.split(' ') which should be str.split(" ").Hope this will work.

Answer 3

you can make a StringTokenizer:

String str;

StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(str," ");

String[] array = new String[2];

int index;

while(st.hasMoreTokens())

{

    index++;

    array[index] = (String)st.nextToken();

}
