I was using Eclipse for Java and I want to split a number without losing other same characters.
For example, the input line is:
[1142,143,2142,142]
the output should be like that:
1142 143 2142
i was using split("142|\\D+")but the output was showing like this:
1 143 2
What should I do ?
You need to use word boundaries.
string.split("\\b142\\b|\\D+"); OR
Do replace and then split.
string.replaceAll("\\b142\\b|[\\[\\]]", "").split(","); Replace brackets and split:
String value = "[1142,143,2142,142]"; String xl = value.replaceAll("[\\[\\]]", ""); String splitted[] = xl.split(","); for (String string : splitted) if (!string.matches("142")) System.out.println(string); 
String [] tokens = input.split(",");
