split method with multiple delimeters

Question

How can I use split method of java to include delimeters like (+-/!.?:;()') and also space as one of the delimeter. My split statement looks something like this:

String[] words = myDocs[i].split("[+-/!.?:;()' ]"); 

It works fine for all the delimeters except space. Please suggest some solution.

Answer 1

Use \\s+ in place of the space.
