String str="hai,Bye,Go,Run";

//String 1

String str1=str.substring(0,str.indexOf(','));

//String 1

String str1=str.substring(str.indexOf(',')+1,str.length);

done :)

You can use the String method:

public String[] split(String regex, int limit)

e.g. (not tested)

String str = "hai,Bye,Go,Run"
str.split(",", 2);

String str = "hai,Bye,Go,Run";
String str1 = str.substring(0, str.indexOf(','));
String str2 = str.substring(str.indexOf(',')+1);

if you check out the Java Doc of string

You'll find one of the methods is

split(String regex)

then what you want is to use a regex like "," to get a table of strings

This is a very basic Java knowledge... Have a look at String class definition before asking here: http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/String.html

You should follow some Java tutorial before starting programming in Java.
