help needed on split function

Hi All,

i have a small code :-

String selecteID = "QP|10009";

String radioId []= selectedID.split("|");

int i = 0 ;

System.out.println("radioId[0] ="+radioId);

System.out.println("radioId[1]= "+radioId[++i]);

Its output is

radioId[0]=

radioId[1]=Q

However i wanted the code to return ans as :--

radioId[0]=QP

radioId[1]=10009

Why does the split function does not work for '|' ? Or we cannot use '|' in case of split functions.
