You should avoid \

with others \

, so try: -

string.split("\\n\\n");

First of all, you must exit \

with another \

like this:

string.split("\\n\\n");

Another way is to use the default line separator:

string.split(System.getProperty("line.separator")+"{2}");

or you can try mixing this:

string.split("(\\r\\n|"+System.getProperty("line.separator")+")+");

split

needs RegExp, so you can try options for your problem.

And don't forget that sometimes a newline is not just a character \n

, for Windows files it can be a \r\n

char sequence .
