I have been using myString.split("\\s+"); to get the each word. But now I want to split the commas and full stops aswell. For Example:
Mama always said life was like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get.
to:
{Mama, always, said, life, was, like, a, box, of, chocolates ,,, You, never, know, what, you're, gonna, get,.,}
How would one go about doing this?

To split a string with comma, use the split() method in Java. str. split("[,]", 0);
To split a string by space or comma, pass the following regular expression to the split() method - /[, ]+/ . The method will split the string on each occurrence of a space or comma and return an array containing the substrings.
In order to parse a comma-delimited String, you can just provide a "," as a delimiter and it will return an array of String containing individual values. The split() function internally uses Java's regular expression API (java. util. regex) to do its job.
Example 4: Split String by Multiple Delimiters Java program to split a string with multiple delimiters. Use regex OR operator '|' symbol between multiple delimiters. In the given example, I am splitting the string with two delimiters hyphen and dot.
If commas and periods are always followed by whitespace or end-of-string, then you can write:
myString.split("(?=[,.])|\\s+");
If they're not and you want e.g. a,b to be split into three strings, then:
myString.split("(?<=[,.])|(?=[,.])|\\s+");
You could use a lookahead to split before dots and commas, too:
myString.split("\\s+|(?=[,.])");
That the lookahead is not included in the actual match, so the actual character (comma or period) will end up in the resultant array.
