Could you tell us more why split(" ") is bad for you because `" " is making some problem for me` is kind of vague — Pshemo, Jul 02 '12 at 10:44

If the price is what you are after you could try with something like

Matcher matcher = Pattern.compile("(\\$.*)\\s*</div>").matcher(element.text());
String price = null;
if (matcher.find()) {
  price = matcher.group(1);
}
