How can i split string in java using combine special characters

Question

How can I split a String using combine special characters?

For example, if the combine Special characters is {@}:

String str = "This is test string1.{@}This is test string2@(#*$ ((@@{}";
StringTokenizer stoken = new StringTokenizer(str, "\\{\\@\\}");
while (stoken.hasMoreElements()) {
    System.out.println(stoken.nextElement());
}

What I expect from above program is :

This is test string1.
This is test string2@(#*$ ((@@{}

You can not use characters with special meanings like : \ ^ $ . | ? * + ( ) [ { }, i think there are 12 of them. therefore change your character to split the string to something like "/-/"

the code to do so looks like the one underneath:

public class SplitString {

public static void main(String[] args) {

    String s = "This is test string1./This is test string2@(#*$ ((@@{}";
    String[] fragments = s.split("/");
    String fragment1 = fragments[0];
    String fragment2 = fragments[1];

    System.out.println(fragment1);
    System.out.println(fragment2);

    }

}

this solution is based on the answer in this thread: Stackoverflow Split String
