Edit Question
Title
Body
I’m trying to split a String . Simple examples work: groovy:000> print "abc,def".split(","); [abc, def]===> null groovy:000> But instead of a comma, I need to split it on pipes, and I’m not getting the desired result: groovy:000> print "abc|def".split("|"); [, a, b, c, |, d, e, f]===> null groovy:000> So of course my first choice would be to switch from pipes ( | ) to commas ( , ) as delimiters. But now I’m intrigued: Why is this not working? Escaping the pipe ( \| ) doesn't seem to help: groovy:000> print "abc|def".split("\|"); ERROR org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed, groovysh_parse: 1: unexpected char: '\' @ line 1, column 24. print "abcdef".split("\|"); ^ 1 error | at java_lang_Runnable$run.call (Unknown Source) groovy:000>
