Get the first letter of each word in a string using regex

Question

I\'m trying to get the first letter of each word in a string using regex, here is what I have tried:

public class Test
{
    public static void main(String[]         


        

Answer 1

Edit Took some suggestions in the comments, but kept the \S because \w is only alpha-numeric and might break unexpectedly on any other symbols.

Fixing the regex and still using split:

name.split("(?<=[\\S])[\\S]*\\s*")
