[java] Java equivalent to Explode and Implode(PHP)

I am new in Java although had a good experience in PHP, and looking for perfect replacement for explode and implode (available in PHP) functions in Java.

I have Googled for the same but not satisfied with the results. Anyone has the good solution for my problem will be appreciated.

For example:

String s = "x,y,z";
//Here I need a function to divide the string into an array based on a character.
array a = javaExplode(',', s);  //What is javaExplode?
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(a));

Desired output:

[x, y, z]

I'm not familiar with PHP, but I think String.split is Java equivalent to PHP explode. As for implode, standart library does not provide such functionality. You just iterate over your array and build string using StringBuilder/StringBuffer. Or you can try excellent Google Guava Splitter and Joiner or split/join methods from Apache Commons StringUtils.

Good alternatives are the String.split and StringUtils.join methods.

Explode :

String[] exploded="Hello World".split(" ");

Implode :

String imploded=StringUtils.join(new String[] {"Hello", "World"}, " ");

Keep in mind though that StringUtils is in an external library.

String.split() can provide you with a replacement for explode()

For a replacement of implode() I'd advice you to write either a custom function or use Apache Commons's StringUtils.join() functions.

if you are talking about in the reference of String Class. so you can use

subString/split

for Explode & use String

concate

for Implode.

java.lang.String.split(String regex) is what you are looking for.
