Question

I’m getting java.ArrayIndexOutOfBounds… I don’t know why.

    private final static String TEST_STRING = "My awesome string !^:_TEEEEEEEEEEEEEST";

    public void createPartControl(Composite parent){
        String[] temp = TEST_STRING.split("^:_");
        System.out.println(temp[0] + " ---> " + temp[1]);
    }

EDIT:

Answer 1

split accepts a regular expression, where ^ has special meaning: The beginning of the character sequence. This means that you aren’t actually splitting the string as you expect. Escape the ^ sign with \:

TEST_STRING.split("\\^:_");
