Question

Imagine I have this string:

string thing = "sergio|tapia|gutierrez|21|Boston";

In C# I could go:

string[] Words = thing.Split('|');

Is there something similar in Java?
I could use Substring and indexOf methods but it is horribly convoluted. I don’t want that.

You can use String.split.

String   test = "a|b|c";
String[] splitStr = test.split("\\|"); // {"a", "b", "c"}
