  Java String class defines following methods to split Java String object.
  String[] split( String regularExpression )
  Splits the string according to given regular expression.
  String[] split( String reularExpression, int limit )
  Splits the string according to given regular expression. The number of resultant 
  substrings by splitting the string is controlled by limit argument.

  /* given string will be split by the argument delimiter provided. */
  temp = str.split(delimiter);
  /* print substrings */
  for(int i =0; i < temp.length ; i++)
    System.out.println(temp[i]);
 
  /*
  IMPORTANT : Some special characters need to be escaped while providing them as 
  delimiters like "." and "|".
  */
 
  System.out.println("");
  str = "one.two.three";
  delimiter = "\\.";
  temp = str.split(delimiter);
  for(int i =0; i < temp.length ; i++)
    System.out.println(temp[i]);
 
  /*
  Using second argument in the String.split() method, we can control the maximum 
  number of substrings generated by splitting a string.
  */
 
  System.out.println("");
  temp = str.split(delimiter,2);
  for(int i =0; i < temp.length ; i++)
    System.out.println(temp[i]);
 
  }
 
}
 
/*
OUTPUT of the above given Java String split Example would be :
one
two
three
one
two
three
one
two.three
