How to split XML String?

Question

I have this xml node. I want to split the coordinate to latitude and longitude using java.

<MAP>1234:3.12345,119.12345</MAP>

I want to split the coordinate or at least can get the coordinate with this format (lat,long). Thanks all.

Have you tried with regex ?

final Pattern regex = Pattern.compile("<MAP>((.*):(.*),(.*))</MAP>", Pattern.DOTALL); 
final Matcher matcher = regex.matcher(whatyouwanttoparselatlongwiththeaboveformat); 
if (matcher.find()) { 
     System.out.print(matcher.group(2) + " : (lat,lon) = ");
     float latitude = Float.valueOf(matcher.group(3));
     float longitude = Float.valueOf(matcher.group(4));
     System.out.println(latitude + "," + longitude);
}

Then you can deal with latitude and longitude as you wish.

Note that you probably want to get the contents of the node with an XML parser and then apply the regex to that. XML, like HTML, generally cannot be parsed with regex. But it might be fine, depending on the details of your use case.
