Question

A web service I’m using returns a comma separated list of values:

a,b,,d,,f,,h,,j,,l,,,

How I you extract these into their respective container variables when some of them are empty?

String a = ...;
String b = ...;
String c = ...;
String d = ...;
String e = ...;
String f = ...;
String g = ...;
String h = ...;
String i = ...;
String j = ...;
String k = ...;
String l = ...;

Answer 1

String[] result = "a,b,,d,,f,,h,,j,,l,,,".split(",");

Then you can allocate your a, b, c, etc. to elements of result

String a = result[0];
...
