I wanted to print only words that have : up front
Example: Coisa1:kit1:Coisa2:kit2;grupo;grupo2;grupo3 would only appear: Coisa1 kit1 Coisa2 kit2
public static void main(String[] args) {
String s = "Coisa1:kit1:Coisa2:kit2;grupo;grupo2;grupo3";
String[] splitado1 = s.split(":");
for (int i = 2; i < splitado1.length; i++) {
System.out.println(splitado1[i]);
}
}
In this simple example you just gave a split before the ";" and get the first element, like this:
public static void main(String[] args) {
String str = "Coisa1:kit1:Coisa2:kit2;grupo;grupo2;grupo3";
String[] splitado1 = str.split(";")[0].split(":");
for (String s: splitado1) {
System.out.println(s);
}
}
Output:
Coisa1 kit1 Coisa2 kit2
However, I suggest giving more input examples so that we can understand what exactly you need to parse, even to include validations in case of errors.
