  • append in the front of the character, if it is part of the regex (ex. d match digits, we excape d as \d

Characters

s empty space
s+ one or more empty spaces
p{Punct} punctutation
d digit
[^] ^ inside square bracket means not

String[] nums = s.split(""[-+*/]""); // split on any math operator

String[] ops = s.split(""\s+""); // split one or more space
String[] ops = s.split(""\W+""); // split one or more non-word character

public String[] split(String regex, int limit)

  • limit parameter controls the number of times the pattern is applied
  • split(String regex, n)
  • if n = 0: pattern will be applied as many time as possible, ALL trailing empty strings (eg. “”) will be removed
  • if n < 0: pattern will be applied as many time as possible
  • if n > 0: pattern will be applied at most n - 1 times

Quantifiers

  • + one or more
  • * zero or more
  • {3} exactly three times
