Calling java.lang.String .split methode in clojure

Question

When i call the .split methode in clojure i get: #object["[Ljava.lang.String;" 0x5aaf6982 "[Ljava.lang.String;@5aaf6982"] #object["[Ljava.lang.String;" 0x18fbbda2 "[Ljava.lang.String;@18fbbda2"]. How can i use this object in my code?

You can use vec to convert a Java array into a vector, e.g.

(vec (.split "1,2,3,4,5" ","))
=> ["1" "2" "3" "4" "5"]

But really if you want to split a string into a Clojure collection you should be using clojure.string/split instead:

(clojure.string/split "1,2,3,4,5" #",")
=> ["1" "2" "3" "4" "5"]
