Re: Splitting a string with spaces (not i specific)

What do you think about this?

"\b(?:(?<=\s)|(?=\s))"

This is exactly doing what u wanted if I'm right.

Or maybe this: " ?\b(?:(?<=\s)|(?=\s) )"

I'm not sure because you said u want to preserve spaces but u cropped one before and after the strings in your example :)
And the regexp u ended up using doing completely different thing :)

Here's the regex I ended up using: "(?<=[\\s])"

Although that Scanner class looks interesting.

FWIW: I'm working on a routine that will format AS400 messages for use in a dialog box.
