[Solved] Split the string an get the text [duplicate]

by


NOTE: Actually technique fabian’s using with Pattern and Matcher is far more correct and elegant, but code provided there is not returning values required by OP .

You can use String::split(String). It takes a regular expression to split, so use it, [] means containing one of… so putting | inside will match what you want:

String s = "*~*****|****|**|*|***|***|****|**|null|null|**|***|***|null|71713470|STMS#******";
s.split("[|]")[14]

Will output:

71713470

And 

s.split("[|]")[15].split("[#]")[0]

Will give you

STMS
