Use String.split() in regards to explode.

An example of use:

Explode :

String[] explode = "I+am+a+good+boy".split("+");

And you can reverse this like so (or "implode" it):

String implode = StringUtils.join(explode[], " ");

You can try like this

String str = "I+am+a+good+boy";
String[] array = str.split("\\+");

you will get "I", "am", "a", "good", "boy" strings in the array. And you can access them as

String firstElem = array[0];

In the firstElem string you will get "I" as result. The \\ before + because split() takes regular expressions (regex) as argument and regex has special meaning for a +. It means one or more copies of the string trailing the +. So, if you want to get literal + sign, then you have to use escape char \\.

You have two options as I know :

    String text = "I+am+good+boy";
    System.out.println("Using Tokenizer : ");
    StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(text, "+");
    while (tokenizer.hasMoreTokens()) {
        String token = tokenizer.nextToken();
        System.out.println(" Token = " + token);
    }

    System.out.println("\n Using Split :");
    String [] array = text.split("\\+");
    for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
        System.out.println(array[i]);
    }

String str = "I+am+a+good+boy";
String[] pieces = str.split("+")

Now you can use pieces[0], pieces[1] and so on.

Just use split and escape the regex - either by hand or using the Pattern.quote() method.
