How to split up a String

From Inetaddress I can retrieve HostName and HostIpaddress (Donald/172.18.5.192)

What I want to do is to divide this String into String1 = Donald and String2 = 172.18.5.192.
The First String is the letters until "/" and after "/" is then the IP address.

Tried searching for this solution, but it may not be so common.

Please help if you can,

Thanks

use String.split("\\"), it will return a string array containing both parts of a string

StillUnAware

oh sorry, wrong character, it sould be String.split("/")

Here it goes:

public class strSplit {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String s = "Donald/172.18.5.192";
String[] sa = s.split("/");
for(int i = 0; i < sa.length; i++)
System.out.println(sa[i]);
}
}

If u know it s containg onli this then use the following
String test = "Donald/172.0.9.9"; // yr input string
int index = test.indexOf("/");
String name = test.subString(0,index);
String ipaddess = test.subString(index);

try this

String str = "Donald/172.18.5.192";
String str1 = str.substring(0, str.indexOf("/"));
String str2 = str.substring(str.indexOf("/") + 1 , str.length());
System.out.println("str1 = " + str1 +
"\nstr2 = " + str2);

>> String[] sa = s.split("/");

I would prefer the indexOf () approach because split () works only on >= 1.4
