Question

I need a way to remove only the first space found in a string and then put the string in an array. For example

hello there. Hey.

I want that to be split like [hello][there. Hey]. I tried with

String [] s = str.split(" ")

by that will naturally remove all the spaces and create several strings. i just need 2. Can you please tell me how to do that ? Ether by regular expression or another way.

Answer 1

String [] s = str.split (" ", 2); should do the trick, documentation here.

You may also want to consider using \s+ as the regex – it may split the string more intelligently.
