Is it possible to use 2 bars "|" as delimiter for Javascript and Java?

Question

I have a string:

var metadata = "form=string=a||list=string=a|b|c||isTrue=boolean=true";

I want to trim it as:

meta[0] = "form=string=a";
meta[1] = "list=string=a|b|c";
meta[2] = "isTrue=boolean=true";

How can I do it in both Javascript and Java?

Answer 1

Use split() function in javascript and java

eg:

In javascript

var metadata = "form=string=a||list=string=a|b|c||isTrue=boolean=true";

var meta = metadata.split("||");
console.log(meta[0]);

In java

String metadata = "form=string=a||list=string=a|b|c||isTrue=boolean=true";
String[] meta = metadata.split("\\|\\|");
System.out.println( meta[0] );
