How do I split a string with any whitespace chars as delimiters?

Question

What regex pattern would need I to pass to the `java.lang.String.split()` method to split a String into an Array of substrings using all whitespace characters (' ', '\ ', '\\n', etc.) as delimiters?

Answer 1

The following code works.

You pass the delimiter as " "

that is, a single blank space inside double quotes

=================================================

class TestStrSplit

{

public static void main(String args[])

{

String strBuff = new String("The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs !!!!");

String [] tokens = strBuff.split(" ");

for (int iLoop=0; iLoop<tokens.length; iLoop++)

{

System.out.println(tokens[iLoop]);

}

}

}
