Question

{
    ArrayList<String> node_array = new ArrayList<String>();
    String allValues[] = node.split("[(,)]");

    for(String value : allValues){
        node_array.add(value);
    }

node is a string, for example: (3,4,5,6,3)

for some reason when I verify the content of the arraylist the split seems to leave a trail of space as elements, specifically where ( and ) is supposed to be. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

node.replace("(","").replace(")","").split(",");

or

node.substring(1,node.length()-1).split(",");
