split() in String gives compilation error

[Nishi Bhonsle]

Hi:

I have a string that I want to split at the first occurence of "$"

Ex -->
String actStr = "/xx/ssdasdasd/asds/sdsdsd/sdsd$bjSt=d7b7cb90$sdsdsd=emtests2.<hostname>$type=sdasdsad$ctxType1=asdasdasd_sdasd";
String[] act2Str = new String[200];
String regex = "$";
for (int i = 0; i < act2.length; i++) {
act2 = actStr.split(regex,1);} //act2[] should contain "$bjSt=d7b7cb90$sdsdsd=emtests2.<hostname>$type=sdasdsad$ctxType1=asdasdasd_sdasd"

But I get an error at the split method when I try to compile this?

What could be the issue?

Thanks.

split(String, int) returns a String array, you are trying to assign the
array returned to a String albeit an element of a String[]

you want something like:

String[] act2;

act2 = actStr.split(regex,1);

forget the for loop, you are trying to do to much

I tried the above, but I get the following error --

C:\Test.java:24: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : method split (java.lang.String,int)
location: class java.lang.String
act2= actStr.split(regex,1);
^

Well that has nothing to do with syntax, that is because the version of java
that is actually being used to compile does not support that method.
You are looking at Java 1.4+ docs and compiling under Java 1.3 or earlier.

Thank you, that worked.
