I'm supposed to write a method that acts like java.lang.String.split, except that this new method returns a String array including the delimeters. For example:

split("Java#HTML#Cpp", "#") would return "Java", "#", "HTML", "#" and "Cpp" in an array. I already done the hard part, which returns the array correctly. However, I don't how to make it work with regular expressions, such as:

split("Java#HTML$Cpp%Python", "[#$%]"). It should return:

"Java", "#", "HTML", "$", "Cpp", "%", "Python".

Any ideas?

Here is my code BTW:

  Instant fail because "String regex" is not interpreted as a regex. You need to either compile that argument to a java.util.regex.Pattern, or (better, if possible), change the type of that argument from String to java.util.regex.Pattern.
  
  Read up on what a regular expression is if you don't know already. You're supposed to split on a pattern, not a fixed string. Don't try to write your own regex parser.
  
  Final point, you should never need to call new String(). Strings are immutable in Java.

  Done it without using Pattern class. Not actually a regex, but it involves using the square brackets for multiple delimeters. I know it is useless, but I tried to make it without using Pattern. And yes, messy code is messy:
