Abi, You are correct - Java 1.4 and higher have a split method that takes a regular expression: String[] result = string.split(regExp)
The delimiter is not just a comma in your example though. It looks like it is a comma not surrounded by quotes or a comma followed by a space. I can't tell which one from the example.
The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny - it is the light that guides your way. - Heraclitus
