Split a String based on regular expression

Hi All,

I have a simple query.....

I want split the sting based on the regular expression.....  I will do some other calculations later.. But all I need is what could be the best way to cut the string based on that expression.

I'm trying to identify the String index value and will pass that string index to the split method..

Based on the above code can any one help me to find the index number (or) any other way to split it...
