Description

The list of methods to do String Split by Quote are organized into topic(s).

Method

ListquoteAwareSplit(String str, char delim)
Break str into individual elements, splitting on delim (not in quotes). 
boolean inQuotes = false;
boolean inEscape = false;
List<String> elements = new ArrayList<>();
StringBuilder buffer = new StringBuilder();
for (char c : str.toCharArray()) {
    if (c == delim && !inQuotes) {
        elements.add(buffer.toString());
        buffer.setLength(0); 
...
String[]split(String sString, boolean bIgnoreQuotes)
This is a simple utility to split strings. 
List vRes = new ArrayList();
char splitChar = ' ';
char[] vChars = sString.trim().toCharArray();
StringBuffer sbCurrentToken = new StringBuffer();
for (int i = 0; i < vChars.length; i++) {
    if (vChars[i] == splitChar) {
        if (sbCurrentToken.toString().length() != 0) {
            vRes.add(sbCurrentToken.toString());
...
String[]split(String str, char chrSplit, char chrQuote)
split divides a string into many strings based on a delimiter The main difference between this split and the one that comes with Java is this one will ignore delimiters that are within quoted fields

NOTE: Delimiter will be ignored once chrQuote is encountered. 

List<String> tokens = new ArrayList<String>();
String str1 = new String();
boolean inQuote = false;
for (int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++) {
    if (str.charAt(i) == chrSplit && !inQuote) {
        tokens.add(str1);
        str1 = new String();
    } else if (str.charAt(i) == chrQuote) {
...
ListsplitArrayStringQuoted(String array, char quoteChar)
Takes a string and splits it according to the quote character '.
Use this method for splitting a string into several parts, where each part corresponds to a quoted substring in the input.
A string "['stringA' 'stringB']" will result in the list (stringA,stringB) with ' being the character used for qouting. 
array = array.replace("[", "");
array = array.replace("]", "");
List<String> result = new ArrayList<>();
Integer actStart = null;
for (int i = 0; i < array.length(); i++) {
    if (array.charAt(i) == quoteChar) {
        if (actStart == null) {
            if (i < array.length() - 1) {
...
ListsplitHandleQuotes(String s)
split Handle Quotes 
ArrayList<String> results = new ArrayList<String>();
char delimiter = ',';
char quoteChar = '"';
char escapeChar = '\\';
StringBuffer current = new StringBuffer("");
boolean inQuotation = false;
boolean escaping = false;
for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); ++i) {
...
String[]splitIgnoringQuotes(String str, char separatorChar)
split Ignoring Quotes 
if (str == null) {
    return null;
int len = str.length();
if (len == 0) {
    return EMPTY_STRING_ARRAY;
List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
...
String[]splitIgoringQuotes(String str)
Split method will split the given string to substrings every time it finds the space character (' '). 
ArrayList<String> strings = new ArrayList<String>(5);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
str = str.trim();
try {
    for (int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++) {
        while (str.charAt(i) == ' ') 
            i++;
        if (str.charAt(i) == '"') {
...
String[]splitOnCharWithQuoting(String s, char splitChar, char quoteChar, char escapeChar)
This function splits the String s into multiple Strings using the splitChar. 
List<String> result = new ArrayList<String>();
int i = 0;
int length = s.length();
StringBuilder b = new StringBuilder();
while (i < length) {
    char curr = s.charAt(i);
    if (curr == splitChar) {
        if (b.length() > 0) {
...
String[]splitOnCharWithQuoting(String s, char splitChar, char quoteChar, char escapeChar)
This function splits the String s into multiple Strings using the splitChar. 
List<String> result = new ArrayList<>();
int i = 0;
int length = s.length();
StringBuilder b = new StringBuilder();
while (i < length) {
    char curr = s.charAt(i);
    if (curr == splitChar) {
        if (b.length() > 0) {
...
String[]splitOptions(String quotedOptionString)
Split up a string containing options into an array of strings, one for each option. 
List<String> result;
StringBuilder str;
int i;
String optStr;
result = new ArrayList<>();
str = new StringBuilder(quotedOptionString);
while (true) {
    i = 0;
