Java split generates empty first string

Question

There is path like this /root/folder1/subfolder1/subfolder2. Using split() method it generates empty first element. How can first empty string be avoided ?

You need to be more specific. What value did you pass to split() A code fragment would help make your question more specific and easier to understand — Alec the Geek

Strip the leading / before calling split("/").

Use e.g. replaceFirst("^/", "") to do that.
