public String[] split(String regex)

Splits this string around matches of the given regular expression.

This method works as if by invoking the two-argument split method with the given expression and a limit argument of zero. Trailing empty strings are therefore not included in the resulting array.

The string "boo:and:foo ", for example, yields the following results with these expressions:

: { "boo ", "and ", "foo " }

o { "b ", " ", ":and:f " }

Parameters:

regex - the delimiting regular expression

Returns:

the array of strings computed by splitting this string around matches of the given regular expression

Throws:

PatternSyntaxException - if the regular expression 's syntax is invalid
