I am attempting to split a word from its punctuation:
So for example if the word is "Hello?"
. I want to store "Hello"
in one variable and the "?"
in another variable.
Here is my code so far:
String inWord = "hello?";
if (inWord.contains(","+"?"+"."+"!"+";")) {
String parts[] = inWord.split("\\," + "\\?" + "\\." + "\\!" + "\\;");
String word = parts[0];
String punctuation = parts[1];
} else {
String word = inWord;
}
System.out.println(word);
System.out.println(punctuation);
My problem is that I am getting error: cannot find symbol when I try and print out the word and the punctuation.
Thanks for help in advance
