Split a string into characters

[zakhan]

I'm trying to do an unbelievably simple thing but it's not working.

I want to split a string into its constituent characters. I want to
split the string 83AV into 8,3,A,V. I use the following code:

<code>
String str = "83AV";
String[] strToks = str.split("");

for (String tok : strToks)
System.out.println(tok);
</code>

This gives me an extra "null" String in addition to the actual tokens.

Any idea how we can do this in a simple way? What regular expression
should I use for the split function?

Thanks!

str.toCharArray() will return a char[] and you can then
either use each char directly or use Character.toString on it.

You're trying a bit too hard.

If you just need, as you say, the constituent characters,
just use String.toCharArray();

That returns char[]; if you want String[] instead, you
can step through the array applying the String(char[], int offset,
int value) constructor.

str.split("(?<=\\w)");

This construct is called negative look-behind.

~~~~~~maybe positive look-behind

(?:X) X, as a non-capturing group
(?idmsux-idmsux) Nothing, but turns match flags on - off
