Question

I’m looking to split a List of Strings up as i iterate throught the list imagine the following as the List.

["StringA.StringB.StringC"]["StringA.StringB.StringC"]["StringA.StringB.StringC"]["StringA.StringB.StringC"]

So i want to iterate through the list pull out each string ("StringA.StringB.StringC")

Then want to seperate by the "." and assign StringA to a String variable – String B to one and String C. Perform some work and move on to the next.

Any ideas how i can do this?

Answer 1

This is a fairly simple task. Just use a foreach to iterate through the list, and then split the string on the . character.

for(String s: list) {
    String[] splitString = s.Split("\\.");
    // do work on the 3 items in splitString
}

The variable splitString will have a length of 3.
