This must be followed by a separator (the 31st separator), and the second capture group contains everything that\u2019s left in the string. (Note that a parenthesized subpattern that starts with <code>(?:<\/code> is a non-capture group and does not count in the numbering used by the <code>group()<\/code> method.)<\/p>\n<p>An alternative is to use the <code>split()<\/code> method. However, this will require you to reconstruct the left part yourself, by concatenating the first 31 elements of the resulting array (checking first to see if there are actually that many elements), and inserting the separators. Unfortunately, since you\u2019re on Android, you can\u2019t use the <code>String.join()<\/code> method to help with this, since this was added in Java 8 and Android is still stuck somewhere between Java 6 and Java 7.<\/p>\n<p><b>Note:<\/b> I\u2019ve tested this and it works as expected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt24\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <span class=\"d-none\" itemprop=\"commentCount\">1<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>solved How to split a string at the n\u2019th occurrence of a specific separator in Java [closed] <\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1088640234840270\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script><\/p>\n<p><\/script><\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<\/p>\n<h1>How to Split a String at the n\u2019th Occurrence of a Specific Separator in Java<\/h1>\n<p>Splitting a string at a specific separator can be a useful task in Java. In this article, we will look at how to split a string at the n\u2019th occurrence of a specific separator in Java.<\/p>\n<h2>Using the String.split() Method<\/h2>\n<p>The easiest way to split a string at the n\u2019th occurrence of a specific separator is to use the <code>String.split()<\/code> method. This method takes a regular expression as an argument and returns an array of strings split at the specified separator.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if we want to split a string at the third occurrence of a comma, we can use the following code:<\/p>\n<pre><code>String[] parts = str.split(\",\", 3);<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>This will return an array of strings split at the third occurrence of a comma. The first element of the array will be the string before the third comma, the second element will be the string after the third comma, and the third element will be the rest of the string.<\/p>\n<h2>Using the StringTokenizer Class<\/h2>\n<p>Another way to split a string at the n\u2019th occurrence of a specific separator is to use the <code>StringTokenizer<\/code> class. This class takes a string and a separator as arguments and returns a <code>StringTokenizer<\/code> object. This object can then be used to iterate over the tokens in the string.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if we want to split a string at the third occurrence of a comma, we can use the following code:<\/p>\n<pre><code>StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(str, \",\");\nString[] parts = new String[3];\nfor (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {\n    parts[i] = st.nextToken();\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>This will return an array of strings split at the third occurrence of a comma. The first element of the array will be the string before the third comma, the second element will be the string after the third comma, and the third element will be the rest of the string.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>In this article, we looked at how to split a string at the n\u2019th occurrence of a specific separator in Java. We saw two different ways to do this: using the <code>String.split()<\/code> method and using the <code>StringTokenizer<\/code> class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction [ad_1] String manipulation is a common task in programming, and Java provides a number of ways to split a string at a specific separator.
