Scala – Split a String with Delimiter/ Separator

Here, we will create a string and then split the string based on the given separator using the split() method. The split() method returns an array of strings. After that, we printed the array of strings on the console screen.

Scala code to split the string based on the given separator

The source code to split the string based on the given separator is given below. The given program is compiled and executed on the ubuntu 18.04 operating system successfully.

// Scala program to split the string
// based on given separator

object Sample {
  def main(args: Array[String]) {
    var str: String = "MAN-WAN-LAN-PAN";
    var i: Int = 0;

    // Split string into array of string
    // based on "-" separator.
    var res = str.split("-");

    while (i < res.length) {
      printf("%s\n", res(i));
      i = i + 1;
    }
  }
}

Output

MAN
WAN
LAN
PAN

Explanation

In the above program, we used an object-oriented approach to create the program. And, we created an object Sample. Here, we defined main() function. The main() function is the entry point for the program.

In the main() function, we created a string variable str initialized with "MAN-WAN-LAN-PAN". Then we split the string based on separator "-" using the split() function and assigned it to the res variable. The split() method returns the array of strings. After that, we printed the resulted array of strings on the console screen.
