Example

public class Test {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        String str = new String("Welcome-to-tutorialpro");

        System.out.println("- Delimiter Return Value :" );
        for (String retval: str.split("-")){
            System.out.println(retval);
        }

        System.out.println("");
        System.out.println("- Delimiter with Limit Return Value :" );
        for (String retval: str.split("-", 2)){
            System.out.println(retval);
        }

        System.out.println("");
        String str2 = new String("www.tutorialpro.org");
        System.out.println("Escape Characters Return Value :" );
        for (String retval: str2.split("\\.", 3)){
            System.out.println(retval);
        }

        System.out.println("");
        String str3 = new String("acount=? and uu =? or n=?");
        System.out.println("Multiple Delimiters Return Value :" );
        for (String retval: str3.split("and|or")){
            System.out.println(retval);
        }
    }
}

The output of the above program is:

- Delimiter Return Value :
