How do I split up string using regular expression?

This code snippet uses the java.util.regex.Pattern.split() method to split-up input string separated by commas or whitespaces (spaces, tabs, new lines, carriage returns, form feeds).

package org.kodejava.regex;

import java.util.regex.Pattern;

public class RegexSplitExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Pattern for finding commas, whitespaces (spaces, tabs, new lines,
        // carriage returns, form feeds).
        String pattern = "[,\\s]+";
        String colors = """
                Red,White, Blue   Green        Yellow,
                Orange Pink""";

        Pattern splitter = Pattern.compile(pattern);
        String[] results = splitter.split(colors);

        for (String color : results) {
            System.out.format("Color = \"%s\"%n", color);
        }
    }
}

The result of our code snippet is:

Color = "Red"
Color = "White"
Color = "Blue"
Color = "Green"
Color = "Yellow"
Color = "Orange"
Color = "Pink"
