Java .split("|") not working
You can try to escape it like this:
String[] res = "12345|6".split("\\|");
Pipe has special meaning in regular expression and it allows regular expression components to be logically ORed. So all you need to escape it using the \\
|
is a regular expression key character and split()
works with regualar expressions. Escape it like this: \\|
Use escape character before | like below:
String[] res = "12345|6".split("\\|");
Similar "escape character logic" is required, when you are dealing/splitting with any of the below special characters (used by Regular Expression):
- OR sign (|)
- question mark (?)
- asterisk (*)
- plus sign (+)
- backslash (\)
- period (.)
- caret (^)
- square brackets ([ and ])
- dollar sign ($)
- ampersand (&)
