Question

If I have the following string:

String string = "My \n name \n is \n John \n Doe";

And I want to separate each word and add it to an arraylist:

ArrayList<String> sentence = new ArrayList<String>();

How would I do that?

Bare in mind that the line break may not be \n – it could be anything.

Thanks

Answer 1

String lines[] = String.split("\\n");

for(String line: lines) {
    sentence.add(line);
}

This should do it.
