How to split a comma-separated string

Question

I have a String with an unknown length that looks something like this   dog  cat  bear  elephant       giraffe    What would be the optimal way to divide this string at the commas so each word could become an element of an ArrayList   For example  List lt String gt  strings   new ArrayList lt Strings gt        Add the data here so strings get 0  would be equal to  dog      strings get 1  would be equal to  cat  and so forth

Remove all white spaces and create an fixed-size or immutable List  See asList API docs   final String str    dog  cat  bear  elephant       giraffe   List lt String gt  list   Arrays asList str replaceAll    s       split           result   dog  cat  bear  elephant       giraffe    It is possible to also use replaceAll   s        but maximum efficiency depends on the use case   see  GurselKoca answer to Removing whitespace from strings in Java

For completeness  using the Guava library  you d do    Splitter on      split    dog cat fox      Another example   String animals    dog cat  bear elephant   giraffe    zebra   walrus   List lt String gt  l   Lists newArrayList Splitter on      trimResults   split animals       - gt   dog  cat  bear  elephant  giraffe  zebra  walrus    Splitter split   returns an Iterable  so if you need a List  wrap it in Lists newArrayList   as above  Otherwise just go with the Iterable  for example    for  String animal   Splitter on      trimResults   split animals                    Note how trimResults   handles all your trimming needs without having to tweak regexes for corner cases  as with String split     If your project uses Guava already  this should be your preferred solution  See Splitter documentation in Guava User Guide or the javadocs for more configuration options

You could do this   String str          List lt String gt  elephantList   Arrays asList str split          Basically the  split   method will split the string according to  in this case  delimiter you are passing and will return an array of strings    However  you seem to be after a List of Strings rather than an array  so the array must be turned into a list by using the Arrays asList   utility  Just as an FYI you could also do something like so   String str          ArrayList lt String gt  elephantList   new ArrayList lt  gt  Arrays asList str split          But it is usually better practice to program to an interface rather than to an actual concrete implementation  so I would recommend the 1st option

There is a function called replaceAll   that can remove all whitespaces by replacing them with whatever you want  As an example  String str    15  9 4 16 0 1  String firstAndSecond   str replaceAll    s      split       System out println  First   firstAndSecond 0     Second   firstAndSecond 1      will give you   First 15 94  Second 16 01

A small improvement  above solutions will not remove leading or trailing spaces in the actual String  It s better to call trim before calling split  Instead of this    String   animalsArray   animals split    s    s       use   String   animalsArray   animals trim   split    s    s
