How to break one variable in two?

Question

I have a string variable with a space separating an email address and a password. For example:

one_variable="foo@yahoo.com password"

I would like to separate the email address from the password and create two strings from it, like this:

email_variable="foo@yahoo.com"
password_variable="password"

How do I achieve this?

`String parts[]=one_variable.split(" ");` and then access the array with indices to get the variables — vks, Feb 10 '15 at 06:21
Use [`split()`](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#split(java.lang.String)) method of [`String`](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/String.html?is-external=true) class. — PM 77-1, Feb 10 '15 at 06:22

Try following code:

String one_variable="foo@yahoo.com password";
String tok[]=one_variable.split(" ");
System.out.println(tok[0]);
System.out.println(tok[1]);

Code basically would spilt the string from space.
If in case you have multiple spaces use \\s+ to spilt i.e one_variable.split("\\s+").
Output :

foo@yahoo.com
password

You might want to change it to `\\s+` to handle *multiple spaces* as well. – TheLostMind Feb 10 '15 at 06:22
