Java: String split method - command simply explained

In this practical tip, we explain how you can easily split strings in Java.

Java: String split method - how it works

• First you have to define a string. You can do this with the command »String str =" 004-034556 ";«.
• Then use »String [] parts = str.split (" - ");« to define a new string array, which is the original string that is divided at "-".
• With the commands »String part1 = parts [0];« and »String part2 = parts [1];« you can now save the individual substrings.
• Tip: If you found programming fun, you can take a look at our Java programming guide, in which we teach you step by step how to program with Java.
