Question

I am new to android. I need to extract various sub strings from a string in my application.
That extraction of sub-strings are depends on various and different delimiters and combination of that.

The pattern of string delimiters is like :

xxx|xxx|#yyy|ww~aaaaa|ww~ii|ww~t|*|yyy

Now i need to get all xxx, yyy, ww, ii, t from the strings by using all symbols as delimiters.
There is a huge string from which above shown is the part of string. Rest is repeating as above and makes a large string.

So how to do this.

Thank you.

Answer 1

string.split("\\W+") 

will work for you.

Here, \W means a non-alphanumeric character.

+ means one or more than one.
