markallen3 YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 2	using " as a delimiter in split() Nov 8th, 2006, 10:56pm   I've trying to use split to break a long string into individual words. This syntax works fine to remove some charachters... String myList[] = split(myString, "[,?.)( "]"); but I can't figure out how to use a " this doesn't work String myList[] = split(myString, "\\""); any advice?
