Java String split Regex

Question

I have a string    String str    a   b - c   d   e  lt  f  gt  g  gt   h  lt   i    j     I want to split the string on all of the operators  but include the operators in the array  so the resulting array looks like    a       b   -   c       d       e    lt    f    gt    g    gt     h    lt     i        j    I ve got this currently   public static void main String   args        String str    a   b - c   d   e  lt  f  gt  g  gt   h  lt   i    j       String reg        lt    lt    gt                -  lt   gt             lt    gt                -  lt   gt                String   res   str split reg       System out println Arrays toString res        This is pretty close  it gives     a       b   -   c       d       e    lt    f    gt    g    gt       h    lt       i          j    Is there something I can do to this to make the multiple character operators appear in the array like I want them to   And as a secondary question that isn t nearly as important  is there a way in the regex to trim the whitespace off from around the letters

You could split on a word boundary with  b

You could also do something like   String str    a   b - c   d   e  lt  f  gt  g  gt   h  lt   i    j   String   arr   str split     lt    G   w      w       lt    gt             -   lt   gt           s       It handles white spaces and words of variable length and produces the array    a     b  -  c     d     e   lt   f   gt   g   gt    h   lt    i      j

Can you invert your regex so split by the non operation characters   String ops     string split   a-z       ops        -         lt    gt    gt     lt              This obviously doesn t return the variables in the array  Maybe you can interleave two splits  one by the operators  one by the variables
