Split a string into substring using '|' character

Question

I am trying to split a string as follows, "Client|Role". My regex is "|".

I expected two substrings as "Client" and "Role", but what I get is each and every character as a substring including the character in my regex. Why I am getting like this? Please help, Thanks in advance.

My code is as follows,

String output = "Client|Role";
String values[] = output.split("|");

Can you please mention the duplicate question link. @Wiktor Stribizew — Heyyou, Jun 27 '19 at 08:18

You can split like this..

String b = "Client|Role";       
String[] elements = b.split("\\|");
