I would like to split my strings in JAVA based on a regular interval, not on regex. This is what I have to split: 1 x3.1.105.41 1 -10 2 x4.1.105.41 0 -10 3 x12.1.105.41 0 -10 4 y3.1.105.41.19 1 0 5 y4.1.105.41.21 0 0 6 y1.1.105.41.23 0 0 7 y12.1.105.41.25 0 0 I would like to seperate each column. Currently, I use the strLine.spli function Any help would be great!
