Splitting String with delimiter

I am currently trying to split a string 1128-2 so that I can have two separate values. For example, value1: 1128 and value2: 2, so that I can then use each value separately. I have tried split() but with no success. Is there a specific way Grails handles this, or a better way of doing it?

Try:

def (value1, value2) = '1128-2'.tokenize( '-' ) 

How are you calling split? It works like this:

def values = '1182-2'.split('-') assert values[0] == '1182' assert values[1] == '2' 

def (value1, value2) = '1128-2'.split('-') should work.

Can anyone please try this in Groovy Console?

def (v, z) = '1128-2'.split('-') assert v == '1128' assert z == '2' 

You can also do:

Integer a = '1182-2'.split('-')[0] as Integer Integer b = '1182-2'.split('-')[1] as Integer //a=1182 b=2 

split doesn't work that way in groovy. you have to use tokenize...

See the docs:
