Can't split string in Java

Question

I have trouble with the split function in Java. When I try to split a string with a regex "$"

String line = "Vu Quang Huy$2/11/1999$Ha Noi$Nam$CNTT$1.2$12$10000.0";
String[] properties = line.split("$");

It doesn't do any thing. The properties at index 0 is the same as the original string

System.out.println(properties[0]);

And it shows

Vu Quang Huy$2/11/1999$Ha Noi$Nam$CNTT$1.2$12$10000.0

Can anyone help me with this problem? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

$ in regex means "the end of a string", use \$ instead.

And, you have to escape the '\' as well, so you have to write it like this

String[] properties = line.split("\\$");
