Split string using multiple delimiters and fixed length

[dtqui]

Hi,

I need to write a program that splits a length of string to max 5 rows of 25 characters each. The problem is I need to delimit using space, dash, carat (stands for carriage return), backslash etc.

For example,
string= "Beddings/Carpets/Curtains/Cushions"
==> string1 = "Beddings/Carpets/"
string2 = "Curtains/Cushions"

string= "High Fidelity & Stereophonic Equipment-Dealers & Service"
==> string1 = "High Fidelity &"
string2 = "Stereophonic"
string3 = "Equipment-Dealers &"
string4 = "Service"

string= "Churches-Church Of Jesus Christ Of^Latter-Day Saints"
==> string1 = "Churches-Church Of"
string2 = "Jesus Christ Of"
string3 = "Latter-Day Saints"

Problem here is I'm not sure of the logic of the search I should use. Any ready-made codes or pointers are appreciated greatly!

To split a String use :

String s = "abc|def|ghi";
String[] sParts = s.split("|");

for (int i = 0; i < sParts.length; i++) {
  System.out.println("String part is : " +sParts[i] +" and its length is " +sParts[i].length());
}

As for working out your columns and String lengths, you'll have to write your algorithm using the split(), and length() methods.
