split an already split array string in Java

I have a csv that has been read and split in 3 different csvs. The csv was pipe separated and the split variable is saved in a string variable. I want to split the new string as comma separated string but as soon as I do that, it gives an exception.`

try(BufferedReader br1 = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(newcsvCategory))){
    String line;
    while ((line = br1.readLine()) != null) {
        String[] value1 = line.split("\\|,",-1);
        String Id = value1[0];
        String CatId=value1[1];

I want split the first column and second column as pipe separated and then further separate the second column as comma separated.

I'd appreciate any help as I'm a newbie.

added code that is splitting CatId:

String[] temp = CatId.split(",",-1);
System.out.println(temp[1]);

You want to set the Limit of .split(..) to 2.

 while ((line = br1.readLine()) != null) {
    String[] value1 = line.split("\\|",2);
    String Id = value1[0];
    String CatId=value1[1]
};

To further split the contet of "CatId" use:

// if you need to replace unwanted chars first, you could just use the simple .replace:
CatId = CatId.replace("\"", "").replace("[", "").replace("]", "");
// Then, split the array just by ,
String[] catIdArray = CatId.split("\\,");

Really, can't realise the questions, but give some notes.

// this source string: serveral columsn with different separators
String str = "209|4900,10368,11093,11581";

According to your code, you try to put all separate number into string array, with two steps:

String[] arr = str.split("\\|");    // not line.split("\\|,",-1)
// arr[0] = 209
// arr[1] = [4900,10368,11093,11581]
String[] tmp = arr[1].split(",")
// tmp[0] = 4900
// tmp[1] = 10368
// tmp[2] = 11093
// tmp[3] = 11581

If so, you can do it with one step:

String[] arr = str.split("[\\|,]");
// arr[0] = 209
// arr[1] = 4900
// arr[2] = 10368
// arr[3] = 11093
// arr[4] = 11581
