String.split() — How do I treat consecutive delimiters as one?

Question

For two sample strings in variable temp such as these:

(1) \"|RYVG|111|9|\"
(2) \"|RYVG|111||9|\"

I want to do the following:

Answer 1

StringUtils split method considers the consecutive delimiters as one delimiter.

org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils.split("|"); 

Answer 2

Try this:-

String splitRating[] = temp.split("\\|+");

Answer 3

Add a + to match one or more instances of the pipe:

temp.split("\\|+");

Answer 4

Yes it is possible

 class  Split
{
public static void main(String[] args) 
{
    String temp="|RYVG|111||9|";

    String splitRating[] = temp.split("\\|+");

    for(String split:splitRating){
    System.out.println(split);
}
}
    }
