Kotlin: Split string whitespace delimiters

Question

In Kotlin, I need to split a line by white spaces. I tried here using what I think is a space and a tab. Also in case there are multiple delimiters, I used a +. I try to grab the 3rd thing in that delimited string below:

val lines = File(MyFilePath).readLines()

val two = lines[7].trim().split("\\\s+","\\\t+")[2]

Answer 1

Maybe try like this:

val list: List<String> = lines[7].trim().split("\\s+".toRegex())
val two = list[1]
