Splitting a string ignoring whitespace

Question

I am splitting a string with a comma as a delimeter using String.split() function in java.

Input

1,1,87 gandhi road,600005

Output:

1
1
87

The code stops at whitespace. How do I get it to work ?

How about taking a look at the documentation first? http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#split(java.lang.String) and also doing a few google searches? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10631715/splitting-a-comma-separated-string And also looking at the tour page? http://stackoverflow.com/tour — xrisk, Jun 27 '15 at 11:40

We'll need to see your code before we can begin troubleshooting. However, the following code should work just fine:

String address = "1,1,87 gandhi road,600005";

String[] stringArray = address.split(",");

for(String str : stringArray)
{
    // Do something with str.
}

`string` is still misspelled :P. – Tom Jun 27 '15 at 11:51
Got my language syntax mixed up. Thanks for the hint. – SE13013 Jun 27 '15 at 11:53

Thanks for the edit. I should sleep. I'm clearly not thinking right. :P – SE13013 Jun 27 '15 at 12:00
What happens here is that after 87 it stops reading since a blank space occurs and I have no idea why – Sidhanth Sur Jul 09 '15 at 17:44
@SidhanthSur then we'll need to see your code, otherwise we'll just be guessing (again). – SE13013 Jul 09 '15 at 17:50

This works for me:

String original = "1,1,87 gandhi road,600005";
String[] s = original.split(",");
for (String t : s) {
    System.out.println(t);
}

Output:

1
1
87 gandhi road
600005

Check the following code:

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String[] str = "1,1,87 gandhi road,600005".split(",");
        for (String s : str) {
            System.out.println(s);
        }
    }
}

Output:

1
1
87 gandhi road
600005

Please mind, that I've changed your `print` call to a `println` call so your code produces the output you've given. – Tom Jun 27 '15 at 11:55
