Well, the input to the Java String split() function is a regular
expression, and the '$' is a special character. [1]<br>
<br>
So if you want to split on a literal '$', you have to escape it.
Try split("\$"). (Or if that doesn't work try split("\\$"). In
some cases with string literals in Java you have to have 2 escape
characters and I can never remember when/why. Don't know which case
this is.)<br>
