Hi All,
I am trying to use Split function of String class . But it does not seem to work fine .
Example :
"Hello@Hi@Bye".split("@") : Works fine
but :
"Hello|Hi|Bye".split("|") : Does not works as intended .
Can somebody tell me why delimiter character "|" cannot be used ?

"|" is a special character in regular expressions. You need to escape it

See the doc for Pattern. You can make some pretty fancy delimiters!
