public String[] split (String regex)

Splits this string around matches of the given regular expression.

This method works as if by invoking the two-argument split method with the given expression and a limit argument of zero. Trailing empty strings are therefore not included in the resulting array.

The string "boo:and:foo", for example, yields the following results with these expressions:

Regex Result
: { "boo", "and", "foo" }
o { "b", "", ":and:f" }

Parameters:
regex     the delimiting regular expression

Returns:  the array of strings computed by splitting this string around matches of the given regular expression

Exceptions:
PatternSyntaxException     if the regular expression's syntax is invalid
