Your question is not answerable as asked. What do you mean by *store*? Do you want to associate them somehow as in a Map? Or do you want to concatenate strings? — merlin2011, Aug 23 '14 at 04:29
And where do you have Daily, Monthly and Yearly? In string or string[]? — Nabin, Aug 23 '14 at 04:34
@Nabin How do i store Daily, Monthly and Yearly in String[] ? Could you plz tell me? — Ankush Minda, Aug 23 '14 at 04:37
Have you read the link provided by @PakkuDon? I've just read it, and the answer is right there. — Barranka, Aug 23 '14 at 04:38
@Barranka actually at that link it is dividing a string in two parts..but here i need to store this details to a String[] — Ankush Minda, Aug 23 '14 at 04:39
[Read the documentation for `split`](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#split(java.lang.String)) or test it in your code and debug it. Just because the example provided in the question deals with splitting the string in two parts doesn't mean it can't work with more parts (after all, it returns an array). Also, I recommend you [read this article](http://whathaveyoutried.com) — Barranka, Aug 23 '14 at 04:43

As per your comment you said you have array of Strings that contains three amounts and as per your question, you want to store in respective Strings. You can use for loop and store in HashMap.

First get your time in array as following:

String textWithTime = "Daily Monthly Yearly";

String[] timearray = textWithTime.split(" ");//note the space inside double quotation

If you have amount of money in a string, then do the following as well

String[] amountarray = textWithAmount.split(" ");//note the space inside double quotation

Do as following:

//Make an object of HashMap here
HashMap<String, String> hashMap = new HashMap<String, String>();

for(int i=0;i<stringarray.length();i++){
  hashMap.put(timearray[i], amountarray[i]); 
}

And to retrive the key and values back you can do the follow:

for (Map.Entry<String, Object> entry : hashMap.entrySet()) {
    String key = entry.getKey();
    Object value = entry.getValue();
    //Use these key and values
}

If your question is about how to split strings, see split() method of String class. If it is more about how to structure resulting data, you may want to do as below:

Create a enum and a class:

public enum Period {
   DAILY,
   MONTHLY,
   YEARLY;
}

public class Income {
 private Period p;
 private double money;

 public Income (Period p, double money) {
    this.p = p;
    this.money = money;
  }
  ....

  // getters, etc
}

then you could use it like this:

Income daily = new Income (Period.DAILY, 1401508225.38);
