I’m assuming you did something like:

String[] parts = str.split("^");

That doesn’t work because the argument to split is actually a regular expression, where ^ has a special meaning. Try this instead:

String[] parts = str.split("\\^");

The \\ is really equivalent to a single \ (the first \ is required as a Java escape sequence in string literals). It is then a special character in regular expressions which means “use the next character literally, don’t interpret its special meaning”.
