Try regex. Refer this question. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2206378/how-to-split-a-string-but-also-keep-the-delimiters — Subir Kumar Sao, Apr 11 '14 at 10:07

Try with:

String input = "abc/def/ghi/jkl/mno/pqr";
String[] output = input.split("/");

for (int i = 0; i < output.length; i++) {
  output[i] += "/";
}

You need not add the `/` explicitly. You can do with regex in split. – Subir Kumar Sao Apr 11 '14 at 10:08

One approach would be to replace each occurrence of "/" with "/\n" (\n is a new line character.)

String provides a replace() method for doing this.

I'll hint you. Have a look at the java docs for String class and find a method for replacing / with /\n in the string.

You can use the following code

String strValue="abc/def/ghi/jkl/mno/pqr";
String strValue1=strValue;

System.out.println("Actual Value \n >>>"+strValue);

strValue1=strValue1.replaceAll("/","/\n");

System.out.println("\nstrFormattedValue >>>\n"+strValue1);

The output of the program is as follows:-

Actual Value
 >>>abc/def/ghi/jkl/mno/pqr

strFormattedValue >>>
abc/
def/
ghi/
jkl/
mno/
pqr
Press any key to continue . . .
