I am trying to use a simple split to break up the following string: 00-00000
My expression is: ^([0-9][0-9])(-)([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])
And my usage is:
String s = "00-00000";
String pattern = "^([0-9][0-9])(-)([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])";
String[] parts = s.split(pattern);
If I play around with the Pattern and Matcher classes I can see that my pattern does match and the matcher tells me my groupCount is 7 which is correct. But when I try and split them I have no luck.
