Store String variable to String Array

Question

this like a string array {hi, hi, hello}, but if I have a string that is shaped like that, can i do this by entering a string variable into the string array ?

like this:
String animal = "kangaroo, rabbit, dog, cat, elephant";
String[] array = { animal };

the result is:
array[0] : kangaroo
array[1] : rabbit

Use `\\s*,\\s*` instead of `", "` because there may or may not be space(s) after comma. – Arvind Kumar Avinash Jun 01 '20 at 17:27
