String split question

My strings are in the format of "<13> <12> <5>" I need to extract data inside the <> brackets but im not sure how i can use string split to accomplish this. Any help would be appreciated.

Well, you know what the delimiters are you care about. So what will happen if you ask split to split a string using those delimiters.(Hint: Write a little program and try it.)(Hint: read the String javadoc for split.)
