Java(android): How to I split a string by every two line breaks?

Question

I have tried using string.split("\n\n") but it does not work. Anyone has any solution? thanks in advance

Answer 1

First of all you should escape the \ with another \ like this:

string.split("\\n\\n");

Another way is using system default line separator:

string.split(System.getProperty("line.separator")+"{2}");

or you can try mix this:

string.split("(\\r\\n|"+System.getProperty("line.separator")+")+");

split need RegExp, so you can try variants for your problem.

And don't forget that sometimes new line is not only \n symbol, for Windows files it can be \r\n char sequence.

Answer 2

You should escape the \ with another \ so try :-

string.split("\\n\\n");
