Java split (String Manipulation)

Question

I want to display the data from an EMAIL_TEXT database column splitting the columns at a defined character. For some reason my results are only printing the first line up to where I split the string skipping the rest of the lines. Here is the data I wish to split after every "|".

Here is a sample of the database column to be split.

TEXT TEXT Line1 |

TEXT TEXT Line2 |

The results printed are:

TEXT TEXT Line1

The desired results are :

TEXT TEXT Line1  
TEXT TEXT Line2

Here is my Java Code:

String[] result = EMAIL_TEXT.split("\\|");
String subject="";
BufferedReader br;
BufferedReader brCSS;
FileReader fr;
FileReader frCSS;
String content="";
String CssContent="";
Document document1=null;
String FILEPATH = get(Fields.In, "FILEPATH").getString(r);

String filePathArray []=FILEPATH.split(",");
String mainContents = "";
int j;
try{
    for(j=0;j<filePathArray.length;j++)
    {
        subject= get(Fields.In,"EMAIL_SUBJECT").getString(r);

        fr=new FileReader(filePathArray[j]);
        br= new BufferedReader(fr);
        String s;
        content = "";
        String c;
        if(mainContents.contains("header-image.jpeg")!=true)
        {
            mainContents += "<img src=header-image.jpeg>";
        }
        content = content + result[j];
        while(( s=br.readLine())!=null)
        {

            content=content+s;

        }


    }

Honestly I don't think the rest of the code is relevant other than the EMAIL_TEXT.split(); — Greg Giacovelli

Is filePathArray the same length as result? You are using the same index j in both filePathArray[j] and result[j]. — Lone nebula

No they are of different lengths with the result being a much longer string. — Tone

You most likely want to use nested for-loops then. One loop for result, and one for filePathArray. But it's hard to tell, when I don't know how you want to put together the text from the arrays and files. — Lone nebula

String[] result = EMAIL_TEXT.split("\\|");
for(String s:result){
   System.out.println(s);
}

you have all the text inside result array... just loop through them to get all of the lines...
