How to Split a String in Java

In this example, we will obtain two different methods to split a string in Java.

Source Code

1) Using java.util.StringTokenizer

package com.beginner.examples;

import java.util.StringTokenizer;

public class StringSplitExample1 {

    public static void main(String[] args){

    	String string = "ac9BG,RN,7e3,tgfi";
    	StringTokenizer str = new StringTokenizer(string, ".");

		while (str.hasMoreTokens()) {
			System.out.println(str.nextToken());
		}
    }
}

Output:

ac9BG
RN
7e3
tgfi

2) Using String.split()

package com.beginner.examples;

public class StringSplitExample2 {

    public static void main(String[] args){

    	String string = "ac9BG,RN,7e3,tgfi";
		String[] strs = string.split(",");
		
		for(String str:strs) 
		{
		    System.out.println(str);
		}
    }
}

Output:

ac9BG
RN
7e3
