Split String and Store in Array using Java

Question

I have a string that would always output in the following format, but with different lengths.

String s1= "['Aaaa', 'Eeee', 'Ffff', 'Cccc', 'Dddd']";

How to split this string and store the values in a n array of strings, I tried String.Split(), but I failed to catch the inner values.

Do you think regular expressions could help???

String.Split() it does not exist. Can you post your code so we make sure you really tried something? — Nikolay Kuznetsov

what is your String ?? is s1 and s2 your original strings and you wanna split them such that your resulting array is {Aaaa, Eeee.....}?? — PermGenError

@NikolayKuznetsov Perhaps String#split(String) was meant here — John Dvorak

These look JSON encoded - why not just use a JSON decoder which will turn them into an array? — Krease

Have you tried running it through Split with the regex parameter as"[\\[\\]\\', ]"

Basically any of [,],,,', - more information here

   String s1= "['Aaaa', 'Eeee', 'Ffff', 'Cccc', 'Dddd']";

       String[]  array = s1.split(",");
       for(int i=0;i<array.length;i++)
       {
           System.out.println(array[i]);
       }

Suppose

 String s = "dog cat cat dog";

//Now you want to split this String and save in to String[] (String Array)

String[] t= s.split(" ");

System.out.println(Arrays.toString(t));

// output you will get as ["dog", "cat", "cat", "dog"];
