You need this instead   if s contains         contains   method of String class does not take regular expression as a parameter  it takes normal text     EDIT   String s    ddjdjdj kfkfkf    if s contains             String parts     s split             System out print parts 0        OUTPUT   ddjdjdj

Why not just   int plusIndex   s indexOf       if  plusIndex    -1        String before   s substring 0  plusIndex          Use before     It s not really clear why your original version didn t work  but then you didn t say what actually happened  If you want to split not using regular expressions  I d personally use Guava   Iterable lt String gt  bits   Splitter on      split s   String firstPart   Iterables getFirst bits         If you re going to use split  either the built-in version or Guava  you don t need to check whether it contains   first - if it doesn t there ll only be one result anyway  Obviously there s a question of efficiency  but it s simpler code      Calling split unconditionally String   parts   s split         s   parts 0     Note that writing String   parts is preferred over String parts   - it s much more idiomatic Java code
