How to split a String by space

Posted By: Anonymous

I need to split my String by spaces.
For this I tried:

str = "Hello I'm your String";
String[] splited = str.split(" ");

But it doesn’t seem to work.

Solution

What you have should work. If, however, the spaces provided are defaulting to… something else? You can use the whitespace regex:

str = "Hello I'm your String";
String[] splited = str.split("\s+");

This will cause any number of consecutive spaces to split your string into tokens.

As a side note, I’m not sure “splited” is a word 🙂 I believe the state of being the victim of a split is also “split”. It’s one of those tricky grammar things 🙂 Not trying to be picky, just figured I’d pass it on!
