Splitting a period-delimited string into multiple strings

Question

I have a string

String x = "Hello.August 27th.Links.page 1";

I am wondering if I can split this string into 4 other strings based on where the period is. For example, the four other strings would be,

String a = "Hello";
String b = "August 27th";
String c = "Links";
String d = "page 1";

As you can see I basically want to extract certain parts of the string out into a new string, the place where it is extracted is based on where the period is which ends the first string and then shows where the 2nd and, etc. strings end.

Thanks in advance!

In android btw

Answer 1

Use String#split (note that it receives a regex as a parameter)

String x = "Hello.August 27th.Links.page 1";
String[] splitted = x.split("\\.");

Answer 2

Yes of course just use:

  String[] stringParts =  myString.split("\\.")
