Question

I got a string like this:

String text = number|name|url||number2|name2|url2

Now I have written a loop

int initialiaze = 0;
for(i = initialize; i > text.length(); i++) {
    //do the work
}

In this loop I want to extract number to one string, name to one string, url to one string and if I reach || do a action (e.g insert this three string into db) if this action is done, start again an extract number2, name2 and url2 into string and do a action.

Is this possible? Can you tell me how? I dont get it.

Answer 1

you can use .split() method for strings.

String[] bigParts = myString.split("\\|\\|");
for(String part : bigParts)
{
    String[] words = part.split("\\|");
    //save to db or what you want
}
