You probably want to wrap it in a character class []:

String[] splitedEmail = email.split( /[\n;,\s]/ )

Groovy Split() with Regular Expression

Groovy String's split() method can also take a regular expression as a delimiter. Here are some examples:

Split by a single digit:

def sampleText = "A1B23C456D"
println sampleText.split(/\d/)

Since extra occurance of delimiter will yield empty Strings, the code will render:

[A, B, , C, , , D]

Split by 2 digits:

def sampleText = "A1B23C456D"
println sampleText.split(/\d\d/)

Since 23 and 45 are the only consecutive two digits, we will have the result:

[A1B, C, 6D]

Split by any number of digits:

def sampleText = "A1B23C456D"
println sampleText.split(/\d+/)

Will split the String with any length of digit sequence, hence the expected output:

[A, B, C, D]
