class RegexDemo{

public static void main(String[] args){

String str = "abcd efghi klmn";

String[] strArr = str.split("\\S");

for(String str1: strArr)

System.out.println("1"+str1);

}

it prints 10 times "1". can you please explain how this is working. i think it shoud print "1" 13 times.

thanks

please read the String.split(String) and String.split(String,int) documentation

http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#split(java.lang.String)

and it's more helpfull to do thisSystem.out.println("'" + str1 + "'");

i've already read the documentation of Pattern and split() method. I could not understand what is a non-whitespace character. If someone could explain how the compiler is spliting with delimeter \\S in my example, that would clear my doubt. Thanks

Until you apologize to 'quitte' for reply #2 I won't help and I hope others won't either.

yes you did

read it again, this time with your brain ON.

> I could not understand what is a non-whitespace character.

do you perhaps understand what a non-intelligent person is?

the compiler doesn't splite anything. if you wrote a couple more examples and thought about the output, your doubt would be cleared. at that point, you might even understand why the first reply did give you an answer

I'm not the boss - there is no boss. Your response to quitte's response was well out of order. quitte was asking a very valid question which for some reason you felt the need to attack.

Since I am now known to not be the boss do you still apologize to quitte?

I got this stuff from the API document boss. I understand that \\s represents whitespace. space, tab, line, and form-feed. but i dont understand how it behaves in case of \\S

class RegexDemo{

public static void main(String[] args) {

String str = "abcdefghijklm";

String[] strArr = str.split("\\S");

for(String str1:strArr)

System.out.println("1"+str1);}

}

in this case, it doesn't print anything. but if i change

str = "abcd efghi jklm"

then , it prints "1" 10 times.

please explain.

Not until you apologize to 'quitte' knowing that I am not in charge.

ok. i apologize quitte if i hurt you in any manner. sorry......

> sorry......

The javadoc for split(String regex) is

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#split(java.lang.String)

which is equivalent to

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#split(java.lang.String,%20int)

with a second parameter of zero which means that trailing fields with zero width are discarded.

Edit: of course no thanks are necessary.
