How to split a string with multiple separators in Scala

Answer 1

import scala.util.matching.Regex

object SplitBySeparatorsApp {
  // Splits a string using multiple separators: comma, semicolon, pipe, dash, underscore
  def splitBySeparators(input: String, separators: String): Array[String] = {
    val pattern: Regex = new Regex(separators)
    
    pattern.split(input)
  }

  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    val input = "abc,defg;hijk|lmnop-qrst_uvwxyz"
    val separators = "[,;|\\-_]+"

    val words = splitBySeparators(input, separators)

    words.foreach(println)
  }
}


 
 
/*
run:
 
abc
defg
hijk
lmnop
qrst
uvwxyz
 
*/
