Answer 1

| is a regex protected character. You need to escape it when splitting like so:

str.split("\\|");

Answer 2

You can find more detailed information for regex expression in the java doc: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html

There are a lot of really good examples. I strongly recommend to check them.

For literals you must use double backslash (\\) to escape the escaped character.

Cheers.
