Getting extra line using row seperator

Question

I'm using this regex to split one line into multiple group by 2 characters.

string.replaceAll("(.{2})", "$1\r\n")

Here is an example.

Like my input input string is like this

ABCDEFGHIJ

And output am getting like this

Output
->AB
->CD
->EF
->GH
->IJ
->

Is there any way so that I don't receive that last empty line?

Answer 1

You have two options:

• Manually remove the new line from the result
• Change your regex to: (.{2})(?!$)

Now the regex will catch all pairs except the last one, and you will not be replacing it with a new line.
