“2.7.0_bf4fda703454”.split(“_”) gives a list of strings: This splits the string at every underscore. If you want it to stop after the first split, use “2.7.0_bf4fda703454”.split(“_”, 1). If you know for a fact that the string contains an underscore, you can even unpack the LHS and RHS into separate variables: An alternative is to use partition(). … Read more
This behavior is explicitly documented in String.split(String regex) (emphasis mine): This method works as if by invoking the two-argument split method with the given expression and a limit argument of zero. Trailing empty strings are therefore not included in the resulting array. If you want those trailing empty strings included, you need to use String.split(String … Read more
You need the put the characters you wish to split on in a character class, which tells the regular expression engine “any of these characters is a match”. For your purposes, this would look like: Although dashes have special meaning in character classes as a range specifier (ie [a-z] means the same as [abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz]), if you put it as … Read more
Note that the characters in $IFS are treated individually as separators so that in this case fields may be separated by either a comma or a space rather than the sequence of the two characters. Interestingly though, empty fields aren’t created when comma-space appears in the input because the space is treated specially. To access … Read more
You can set the internal field separator (IFS) variable, and then let it parse into an array. When this happens in a command, then the assignment to IFS only takes place to that single command’s environment (to read ). It then parses the input according to the IFS variable value into an array, which we … Read more
Just use the appropriate method: String#split(). Note that this takes a regular expression, so remember to escape special characters if necessary. there are 12 characters with special meanings: the backslash \, the caret ^, the dollar sign $, the period or dot ., the vertical bar or pipe symbol |, the question mark ?, the … Read more
strtok() divides the string into tokens. i.e. starting from any one of the delimiter to next one would be your one token. In your case, the starting token will be from “-” and end with next space ” “. Then next token will start from ” ” and end with “,”. Here you get “This” … Read more
