every one I want to use for the strings like 

"Ravi;Dutt;;"

but when I use split for this string . It gives result like mentioned above. I got an array of size 2. But in my requirement it should be of 3 as one for last two delimiters. Please help me thanks in advance.

  • I assume you use ; as delimeter? have you tried putting something between the last two ;'s? at this moment, there is no String there, so pretty normal it won't return anything – Stultuske May 21 '14 at 10:56
  • yes Stultuske. But basically my need is to split it in such a way that at first index of array it will be Ravi, Dutt on 2nd index and the third index must be empty only – Ravi Dutt May 21 '14 at 11:05

By default, trailing empty strings (those at the end of the array) are discarded.

If you want to include these as well, try 

split(";", -1)

    But you will end up with two empty Strings at the end. – Alexis C. May 21 '14 at 10:57
