This code snippet show you how to split string with multiple white-space characters. To split the string this way we use the "\s+" regular expression. The white-space characters include space, tab, line-feed, carriage-return, new line, form-feed.
Let’s see the code snippet below:
package org.kodejava.lang;
import java.util.Arrays;
public class SplitStringMultiSpaces {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String text = "04/11/2021 SHOES RUNNING RED 99.9 USD";
// Split the string using the \s+ regex to split multi spaces
// line of text.
String[] items = text.split("\\s+");
System.out.println("Length = " + items.length);
System.out.println("Items = " + Arrays.toString(items));
}
}
The result of the code snippet is:
Length = 6
Items = [04/11/2021, SHOES, RUNNING, RED, 99.9, USD]

Thanks for sharing this. Indeed helpful
But this is not working for me.
Is there any alternate solution?
Hi Sudheen,
Just try the code snippet in the post to prove that it works. Why did you check if the string contains
\\s+text? Because it will simple check if your text contains that string. And also when you are using thevarkeyword you don’t need to define the variable type anymore.
