How i split the string with multiple delimeter in scala?

Question

If I have a string like "(TIde Pods) OR (Pods) AND (myPods)" than how its split as TIde Pods,Pods,myPods?

scala>val s = "Tide POds OR Pods AND (abc ggk)"
s: String = Tide POds OR Pods AND (abc ggk)

scala>s.split("[( ) OR AND]")
res14: Array[String] = Array(Tide, P, ds, "", "", "", Pods, "", "", "", "", "", abc, ggk)

I want Tide Array(POds,Pods,abc ggk).

Can you include more examples for input and desired output?

Since .split accepts regular expression's patterns you can use the following:

scala> val str = "(TIde Pods) OR (Pods) AND (myPods)"
str: String = (TIde Pods) OR (Pods) AND (myPods)


scala> str.split("[()\\s]|OR|AND").filter(_.nonEmpty)
res2: Array[String] = Array(TIde, Pods, Pods, myPods)
