Using the Split method

Question

If I have a string like :

10.120.230.172  DOM1/HKJ    -   2010-11-04  08:05:30    -   -   10.120.12.16    -   80  410

I can use split to sepparate each item like :

String[] temp;
String delimiter = "//t";

temp = input.split(delimiter);

Normally I would be able to get :

String IpAddress = temp[0];
String user = temp[1];
etc .... 

I get a java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

What am I doing wrong guys?

Answer 1

Your delimiter is wrong (assuming you want to split on tabs). This should work:

String delimiter = "\t";

Answer 2

Your delimiter should be \t, not //t

The former is a single tab character, the latter is a string containing 2 forward slashes and the character t
