Handling delimiter with escape characters in Java String.split() method

Question

Answer 1

I know this is an old thread, but the lookbehind solution has an issue, that it doesn't allow escaping of the escape character (the split would not occur on A|B|C|The Steading\\|Keir Allan\|Braco|E)).

The positive matching solution in thread Regex and escaped and unescaped delimiter works better (with modification using Pattern.quote() if the delimiter is dynamic).
