I’m have some data in a txt file like in this form
| item_id | channel | rank | head | body | source | timestamp | link_1_id | link_1_manual/auto | link_1_name/title | link_2_id | link_2_manual/auto | link_2_name/title | … |
An i need to split it at the pipeline characters. However if I do:
String[] cols = line.split("|");
It will split the data by every character which is not what I want. What do I need to do to split by “|”?
Use
The split pattern is interpreted as a regular expression, and
|has a special meaning in regular expressions — it’s not interpreted as just the character alone.
