具有多个分隔符的Split（）（不起作用）

Question

So I have a file to which I have written into an array. I wanted to parse the string by splitting it into smaller strings. I have used split("\\s+") to separate a string from another string by any space. However I wanted to also include (";,.\\n:()") as delimiters. Can someone help me? I have tried split(".,;:\\n()\\\\s+") but this produces a way wrong result.

Answer 1

Do like this,

str.split("[.,;:\\n()]|\\s+");

character class should take each token as separate delimiters. Above should do splitting according to the characters present inside the character present inside the character class or it would do splits on one or more space characters.

or

Since \\\\s also matches \\\\n , I just combined the both..

str.split("[.,;:()\\s]+");
