I actually have a String that contains the format of String array. And I want to load that string data into the array.
String data = "{"Sam" , "14","USA","7th"}";
and the String Array
String loaded_data[][];
Thanks in advance...

What do you mean String that has a format of String array? The first line provided is trying to assign a string array to a string type which isn't correct.Tony– Tony2020-05-31 14:55:11 +00:00Commented May 31, 2020 at 14:55

I think this is what you wanted.
Using String.split() splits the string into an string array with , regex.
public void something() {
String data = "{'Sam' , '14','USA','7th'}";
data = data.substring(1, data.length() - 1); //Ignores curly brackets
data = data.replaceAll("'", ""); //Removes apostrophes
data = data.replaceAll(" ", ""); //Removes whitespace
String[] loadedData = data.split(","); //Splits string -> string[]
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(loadedData));
}
println:
[Sam, 14, USA, 7th]
