Java splits strings into arrays

See English answers > java string split removed empty values 6

String values = "0|0|0|1|||0|1|0|||";

I need to put the values into an array There are 3 possible strings: "0", "1" and ""

My problem is, when I try to use split ():

String[] array = values.split("\\|");

My value is only saved to the last 0 It looks like the "|||" part is trimmed What on earth did I do wrong?

thank you

Solution

This behavior is in string Clear record in split (string regex) (emphasize my):

If you want to include those trailing empty strings, you need to use string Negative values of split (string regex, int limit) and the second parameter (limit):

String[] array = values.split("\\|",-1);
