Splitting

[Shelly Biswal]

Hi All,

i need to split the following string : "//name['firstname = shelly']"
and get output as : firstname
shelly
and then i need to put them in string variables like
nameCategory = firstname and
myName =shelly
how do i do it?
do i need to use multiple split statements?

With String#subString(), get the string between character ' to ' ,
and split the string on regex "=" , then you can go !!

Hope this Help !

That'll do, I'm not sure what the first line meant but that's enough.

"firstname = shelly".split("=") will give you a String[] with 2 elements, firstname and shelly, you'll just have to remove the whitespace with trim()

Look the string to split carefully, its enclosed in " ' " character..

   "//name[[B]'firstname = shelly'[/B]]" 

So we need a substring enclosed in that character , once we get it , we can split it on "=",

Hope this clarifies !
