split() Function

The split() function splits this char sequence to a list of strings around occurrences of the specified delimiters.

Syntax:

fun CharSequence.split(
    vararg delimiters: String,
    ignoreCase: Boolean = false,
    limit: Int = 0
): List<String>

Kotlin program to demonstrate the example of split() function

// Example of split() function
fun main()
{
	// Demonstrating split() function
	// separate words from white-spaces
	val pattern1 = Regex("\\s+") 
	val res1 : List<String> = pattern1.split("Hello, world! How are you?")

	// Prints the words using forEach loop
	res1.forEach { term -> println(term) }
	println()

	// separate words from commas
	val pattern2 = Regex(",") 
	val res2 : List<String> = pattern2.split("Hello,Hi,There")

	// Prints the words using forEach loop
	res2.forEach { term -> println(term) }
	println()
}
