How to split the body in a user macro?

Brian Sung_oj201a

I am trying to create a user macro with a body that takes in a string (ex. Hello - World). How do I store each word separated by the "-" in a variable? Below is what I have tried:

 

#set ($var1 = $body.split("-"))

#set ($var2 = $var1[0])                                  // also tried $var1.get(0). Should be "Hello"

#set ($var3 = $var1[1])                                  // also tried $var1.get(1). Should be "World"

 

I cannot get this to work for some reason. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Brian

I think your issue is that the split method use a Regex string

split(String regex, int limit)

And hyphen is used to indicate range, so try escaping it in your expression.

#set ($var1 = $body.split("\-"))
