String Split Method - Return Array Of Strings Consisting Of Substrings Splitted By Delimiters
Sep 28, 2014
I am having a problem with the following code. It compiles and runs fine however my output is wrong.
public class SplitString {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] string1 = split("ab#12#453", "#");
String[] string2 = split("a?b?gf#e", "[?#]");
for (int i = 0; i < string1.length; i++) {
System.out.print(string1[i] + ",");
[code]....
The split method in the String class returns an array of strings consisting of the substrings split by the delimiters. However, the delimiters are not returned. Implement the following new method that returns an array of strings consisting of the substrings split by the matching delimiters, including the matching delimiters.public static String[] split(String s, String regex)For example, split("ab#12#453", "#") returns ab, #, 12, #, 453 in an array of String, and split("a?b?gf#e", "[?#]") returns a, b, ?, b, gf, #, and e in an array of String.

I do have a quick question about string manipulation. You see I've been given a simple exercise that involves asking the user to input a number between 1,000 and 999,999 and displaying the result. Simple enough, but the caveat is that if the user keys in the comma, say 24,000 instead of 24000 for example, the program is not to display the comma. I don't see how to do this without an 'if' statement. The book says the 'if' is not necessary but does offer this hint: "Read the input as a string. Measure the length of the string. Suppose it contains n characters. Then extract the substrings consisting of the first n-4 characters and the last three characters."
What good is n-4 going to do if the string's lengths varies?
Here's what I have written thus far:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class P13
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Please enter a number between 1,000 and 999,999: ");
[Code] .....

I know adjacent delimiters create empty token but is there any exception regarding last pair of delimiters ??
String a[]=":ab::cde :fg::".split(":"); // Creates 5 tokens
String a[]=":ab::cde :fg:: -Space-".split(":"); // Creates 7 tokens

I have a String as follows: "the|boy|is|good"
now, I want to split this string using the "|" delimeter.
I tried this :
String line = "the|boy|is|good";
line.split("|");
But it didn't split it. Is there some regex for "|"?

String str = "#11* 1# 2*12# 3"
required o/p in array as
#11
* 1
# 2
*12
# 3
i.e splitting the strings for every 3rd string and storing it in an array of strings ...

how to split and then represent the splitted sentence.Suppose I have:
Java Code:
String sentence = "I Love my mother <=> I Love my father";
String[] array = sentence.split("->"); mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
But how can I get now the lefthandside String values which is "I love my mother" and righthandside "I love my father"? I tried smth like:
Java Code:
String[] leftHandSide = array[0].split(" ");
String[] rightHandSide = array[1].split(" "); mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
But it's not working - getting error.

So I'm creating a class which when given three inputs uses them as sides of a triangle and tells ther user what type of triangle it is, or if the input is invalid, tells them why it is invalid. I'm readin the input as a string and then trying to split it into a string array, from there checking to see if it has 3 elements.. in which the data is good at that point, and then converting them to ints and checking to see if they're negative ansd finally checking to see if they can work as sides of a triangle ie a+b >c, a+c >b , b+c >a.
I'm trying to split it into an array of strings but am getting an error, and can't seem to figure out why as this should be working from what I've read of the string.split method online.
import java.util.*;
public class TriangleTest{
private int sideA;
private int sideB;
private int sideC;
public static void main(String[] args){
TriangleTest triangle = new TriangleTest("3 4 5");
[Code] ....
The output reads [Ljava.lang.String;@15db9742

I'm writing a command line application of a calculator in Java. I need to be able to (as per program requirements) split the array of strings (6+3) into an array of strings? How would that be done? I know you can use the split method, but I am not really sure how that wold work to perform math with them?
On a side note: for this application, how could you make the program accept a variety of different lengths of strings to perform math with them?

I am new to Java and would like to ask how to do this question specifically:
Code a Java method that accepts a String array and a String. The method should return true if the string can be found as an element of the array and false otherwise. Test your method by calling it from the main method which supplies its two parameters (no user input required). Use an array initialiser list to initialise the array you pass. Test thoroughly.

I am currently trying to make a calculator in Java. I want to use the String split method to tokenize the string of characters inputted. I thought I was using the String split method wrongly, because I had surrounded the characters I wanted to delimit with square brackets. However, when I removed the square brackets, the code threw an exception when I pressed the equal button. The exception was a PatternSyntaxException exception. Am I using the String split method wrongly? And why is the exception thrown? Here is my code:
import javax.swing.*;//import the packages needed for gui
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import static java.lang.Math.*;
public class CalculatorCopy {
public static void main(String[] args) {
[Code] .....

Write a method that accepts an array of Strings. The method must return an array containing all strings that start with the letter 'A'.
There must be no 'null' values in the resulting array. The resulting array may be of size zero.
I don't think I am returning ALL the strings that start with A, just the last one of the for loop. Does this look somewhat correct?
public String[] startsWithA(String[] strings) {
String startsWithA = strings[0];
for(int i = 0; i < strings.length; i++) {
if(strings[i].charAt(0) == 'A') {
startsWithA = strings[i];
}
return startsWithA;
}
}

In this exercise, create a program that asks a user for a phrase, then returns the phrase with the words in reverse order. Use the String class's .split() method for this.
Example input
The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain
Example output
plain the on mainly falls Spain in rain The
While I understand the assignment, nowhere in the text is it covered how to reverse the order of the words in the string. I understand using the .split method, but not for this exercise.
Here is my code so far.
import java.util.*;
/**
* Java class SplitString
* This program asks for a phrase, and the code allows the phase to return in reverse order.
*/
public class SplitString {
public static void main (String[] args){
//set phrase input and mixed which will be the result
[Code] ....
As you can see, I have been googling this method and have come up nearly empty. My text does not cover the .reverse() method. The only thing it covers with .split() is how to split a string. I also tried StringBuilder with no success.

I am trying to get resultset into a string and then use split method to store it in an array but it is not working. i tried to work it seperately as java program but it throws exception "could not find or load main class java."
String ar = "This.is.a.split.method";
String[] temp = ar.split(".");
for(int i=0;i<temp.length;i++){
System.out.println(temp[i]);

I have a string that look like this
"dfhsdfhds | dsfdsfdsfd dsfjkhdskjf ||ER|| jdkshfuiewryuiwfhdsfsd er dsfjsgrwhfjkds ||ER|| jkshruiewryhijdknfjksdfhdksg | "
I want to split it by "||ER||"
I try this but it splits the single "|" to not just the "||ER||" like I want.
String[] separated = response.split("||ER||");
Log.d("token",separated[0]);
Log.d("token",separated[1]);

I am trying to split the contents of the text file and assign the value on the left of the separator to a variable and the value on the right of the | separator to another variable. Thus I tried out a sample code to print all the values in the split [] first, and ended up with problems. This is the content of the text file:
Crazed Boy|20
Hello|5
MSB|6.5
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
BufferedReader infile = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("test1.txt"));
for (int i =0; i < 3 ;i++) {
String s = infile.readLine();
String[] ss = s.split("|");
[code]....
I keep getting IOException in my sample code, why is this so ? I assumed the split() method is supposed to output for the 1st iteration:
ss[0] = Crazed Boy
ss[1] = 20

I've found different examples on line, but none that use the split method with a multidimensional array. I would like a user to input coordinates (x,y) for city locations and store them into a 2-D array. For the user to input the x,y-coordinates on one line I need to use split(',') and then parse the string array to a double which will then be used to calculate the distances from one another.
My issue is how to store the String vales into the 2-D array. I do not want to store the x-value at even (cityArray[0]) and y-value at odd (cityArray[1]) 1-D locations.

I used the string split method in the following lines of code like this:
String[] numbers = out.split("[^d.]", 0);
String[] operations = out.split("[.d()]", 0);
When out is equal to the String "2x2.5", the array operations ends up looking like this when it is printed using the toString method:
[, , , x]
As you can see, before the array element x, there are three String variables which only contain whitespace. Why does this occur, and how can I prevent this from happening?

How can I write a method that takes a string with duplicates letters and returns the same string which does not contain duplicates. For example, if you pass it radar, it will return rad. Also i would like to know how can I Write a method that takes as parameters the secret word and the good guesses and returns a string that is the secretword but has dashes in the places where the player has not yet guessed that letter. For example, if the secret word is radar and the player has already guessed the good guesses letters r and d, the method will return r-d-r.

How i can get the data from a file, for a key that have multiple values without using split method and i want to store that data in an array
file name:"new.txt"[contains below data]
Name=google.com, yahoo.com,facebook.com
Attachment=abc1,abc2,abc3
I am successfully able to do this using following code
Properties props = new Properties();
String configFilePath = (Cjava_confignew.txt);
props.load(new FileReader(configFilePath));
String TestName = props.getProperty(Name);
String test[] = TestName.split(,);
Now i just want to store the values for key "Name" in array without using TestName.split(,); but i am not able to do this.
I have also used .yml file to avoid this but did not succeed, some way to do this
file name test.yml
Name
-google.com
-yahoo.com
-facebook.com
Attachment
-abc1
-abc2
-abc3
i want to store multiple values for single key(Name) within the array

I'm having an issue with figuring out how to structure and call a method using a string prompt. My prof has given us specific methods to create, and the one I'm having issues with is blic static double getOperand(String prompt). What I have currently is this:
public static double getOperand(String operand1, String operand2){
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("What is the first operand?");
operand1 = input.toString();
System.out.println("What is the second operand?");
operand2 = input.toString();
return operand1, operand2;
}
which is obviously not working. When I asked my prof he sent me this, "The String paramater in the getOperand() method is intended to have the prompt value that is passed to it. Within the method, the prompt is then displayed, what the prompt is asking for is input, and then returned to the method call.For example, if the method is public double getOperand(String prompt) within the method you would display the prompt, as in System. out. println(prompt), use the Scanner class to create an object, perhaps called input, and then use the input object to get the value asked for by the prompt. Once you have that value, which in this example would be a double, then return the value to the method that called it.
The call could be something like this: double value = getOperand("What is the first operand?");". But that only works a little. Clearly I'm missing something and no matter what I google, or how many times I read the chapter, I am just not getting this. Everything else up to this point has been easy. and I can create regular methods just fine, the menu method works, but I can't figure out this string method and all the rest build off this method.

I have written an algorithm that compares the chars and returns all the found words in a 20x10 puzzle, but not for a 100x50 puzzle.
The puzzles are loaded in via text file and I have confirmed they're loading correctly.
guesses = String[] of search words
puzzle = char[][] of letters
Why it doesn't work on the large array?
Expected output:
word1, word2, word3
Actual output:
[blank line]
Here's the horizontal algorithm (row by row search)
//temp variable
ArrayList<String> temp = new ArrayList<String>();
try {
//for each guess word
for(String word : guesses) {
int count = 0;

I am trying to update a Rubik's cubes side by adding each of the 9 squares of the Rubik's cube's side.
So for example:
cube.front.squares = cube.fronts.squares[1] + cube.front.square[2] + cube.left.sqaures[8] ... //until 9 sqaures are added, where squares is a String array of size 9. However, when I try doing this I get an error stating "change 'square' to 'String'". I know I can go in an individually change the values like:
cube.front.squares[0] = "whatever"
cube.front.squares[1] = "something else"
but I know there is a better way to do this...
I also just tried to use String[] concat= ArrayUtils.addAll(first, second) but that only takes in two arrays at most according to the API: [URL]...
