关于JAVA中split()函数遇到的一点问题

很简单的，就是想分割一个文件路径字符串，取它的扩展名。

    String file=new String("c:\\test\\file.exe");
    String[] temp = file.split(".");

    程序运行到这里，就异常终止了。想想以前用split分割很多种符号，都没问题。随手试了试split("\\")，依然失败。又换了其他的各种符号":"、"##"等等却又没问题。难道"."和"\\"有什么不对么？

    在仔细看看JDK的文档：

String[] java.lang.String.split(String regex)

split
public String[] split(String regex)
Splits this string around matches of the given regular expression.
This method works as if by invoking the two-argument split method with the given expression and a limit argument of zero. Trailing empty strings are therefore not included in the resulting array.

The string "boo:and:foo", for example, yields the following results with these expressions:

Regex Result
: { "boo", "and", "foo" }
o { "b", "", ":and:f" }


Parameters:
regex - the delimiting regular expression
Returns:
the array of strings computed by splitting this string around matches of the given regular expression
Throws:
PatternSyntaxException - if the regular expression's syntax is invalid
Since:
1.4

    清清楚楚的写着参数是String regex，一个regular expression，正则表达式。哎，以前没认真看过，一直当成普通的字符串在用了，只是运气好，恰好没出错。知错就改：

    改成String[] temp = file.split("\\.");或者String[] temp = file.split("[.]");就可以了。至于那个"\\"分割的话，用String[] temp = file.split("\\\\");就可以了。
