Spliting the word in to 2 words in Java

Question

How to split a word to 2 words example like

 String a="pavanpavan"

and to print this in 2 variables like

a1="pavan"
a2="pavan"

I've tried to split using the split("p"), but the output will be

avan
avan

How to print full word as pavan and pavan?

How about taking first half substring and second half of the substring ? — 11thdimension, Aug 12 '16 at 14:14
What is the actual rule you want to split on? Are you actually just looking for the literal string "pavenpaven", or is there a more general rule of which this is an example? — azurefrog, Aug 12 '16 at 14:14

A workaround for simply doing this would be.

a1 = a.substring(0,a.length()/2);

a2 = a.substring(a.length()/2);

You have two ways: first one is to use .substring()

String a ="pavanpavan";
String a1 = a.substring(0, 5);
String a2 = a.substring(5);

And the second using .split() and regex

String a="pavanpavan";
String[] array = a.split("(?=p)");
String a1 = array[0];
String a2 = array[1];

int i = a.lastIndexOf("pavan");
if (i != -1) {
    String b = a.substring(i); //pavan
    String c = a.substring(0, i); //pavan
}
