What is the string.split() method in dart?

The split() method is a built-in method of the string in Dart. It divides the long string into a list of smaller sub-strings based on a delimiter/ keyword. Splitting can be useful when working with CSV files.

It returns a list of sub-strings. It divides the original long string based on the delimiter. In other words, a sub-string is inserted into a list wherever a delimiter is found.

Syntax

The following is the syntax of the split() method in dart. 

string.split(delimiter)

  • delimiter is a string or character by which we divide the original string into a list of smaller sub-strings.

Example

The following example will demonstrate how we use split a list using the split() method.

import 'dart:convert';
void main() {
  var str='Welcome to Educative Answers';
  var list=str.split(' ');
  
  print(list);
}

Explanation

  • Line 4: We declare an str variable that stores the original string, which divides into sub-strings.

  • Line 5: We call the split() method of str and pass the ' ' (space) as the delimiter. We store the result in a var named list.

  • Line 7: We print the list on the console.
