Spilt hindi paragraph by | in java

Question

I want to split a Hindi paragraph into sentences. Each sentence is separated by '|' . I tried the following code :

String[] translated_values=text.split("|");

Sample text :

मनोवैज्ञानिक परीक्षण। खुफिया भागफल खुफिया की उम्र से संबंधित उपाय के लिए (बुद्धि) टेस्ट। चिकित्सा देखभाल

but it doesn't work. This works when splitting with other symbols like , etc . please help me.

Answer 1

| is a special char in regex (alternation operator) which will do the regex logical OR operation. You need to escape | in-order to match a literal pipe symbol.

String[] values = text.split("\\|");

Answer 2

You need to escape it:

Try:

String[] translated_values=text.split("\\|"); 

Answer 3

Instead of using the character | directly, use the unicode value of it. This should work

String[] translated_values=text.split("\u0964");
