Break up a string into substrings

Question

I am able to capture a file name in either a File or String format. For example the file paths.

\EAM\testing
\EAM\development
\System\Applications\Management

I need to break these into different strings or substring so they would be

\EAM\testing
String 1: EAM
String 2: testing

\EAM\development
String 1: EAM
String 2: development

\System\Applications\Management
String 1: System
String 2: Applications
String 3: Management

For the first two I know i could possibly use

int index = myStr.lastIndexOf('@');
String firstPart = myStr.substring(1, index);

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

String[] parts = myStr.split("\\");

Answer 2

Use String.split() method to get all the values in an array:

String []names = filePathString.split("\\");
for(String name:names) {
   System.out.println("name: " + name);
}
