How to split a string into an array, inclusive of white spaces?

Question

How can I split a string in java inclusive of white spaces?

String test = "1\t0.000000000\t192.168.0.24\t\t10.0.0.5\t\t98\t84\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1";

The output array list should be like:

["1"," ","0.000000000", " ","192.168.0.24", " ", " ","10.0.0.5"...(well you get me)]

So you want to split the array, and also convert tabs to spaces? — azurefrog, Oct 25 '19 at 19:13
Replace all whitespace with spaces first, then split by `(?<![\S])|(?![\S])`? — Sweeper, Oct 25 '19 at 19:16

Try this.

      String text = "1\t0.000000000\t192.168.0.24\t\t10.0.0.5\t\t98\t84\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1";

      String[] result = text.replaceAll("\t", "\t \t").split("(\t)+");
