Java, How to split String with shifting

Question

How can I split a string by 2 characters with shifting. For example;

My string is = todayiscold

My target is: "to","od","da","ay","yi","is","sc","co","ol","ld"

but with this code:

Arrays.toString("todayiscold".split("(?<=\\G.{2})")));

I get: `"to","da","yi","co","ld"

anybody helps?

Answer 1

Try this:

        String e = "example";
        for (int i = 0; i < e.length() - 1; i++) {
            System.out.println(e.substring(i, i+2));
        }

Answer 2

Use a loop:

String test = "abcdefgh";
List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
for(int i = 0; i < test.length() - 1; i++)
{
   list.add(test.substring(i, i + 2));
}
