Im trying to find a regex with whom i can split a certain Text by any possible new character.
I know that i could use "\\r?\\n" as regex which would work in almost every case and for almost every platform.
But today i faced a problem where im receiving a String from a Swing component which can't be splitted with this regex like i was hoping.
If the String is printed into the eclipse console i can see that there are linebreaks but probably not using \r\n for linebreaks (dont know yet which special character it is actually, i can see only a the newlines in eclipse console and didn't find a way to display the unicode character for example).
After searching a while for a solution how i can determine these newlines i found another regex which is able to find these line breaks:
Matcher matcher = Pattern.compile("^(.*)$", Pattern.MULTILINE).matcher(>>String<<<);
Now im searching for a way how to combine these regex's or use just one expression to find just any newline.
Anyone a idea?
I found the reason:
My Text had some trailing new lines and i was using the wrong String split function. Instead of using
text.split("\\r?\\n")
i had to use
text.split("\\r?\\n", -1)
to get all lines...
