Ahh, the ones that work have " - " in their data but the ones that fail have - .
I am reading the XML data into a DOM then going through it but it looks like the 2 are not working the same even though they come out as spaces for both when I look at them in the debugger.

System.out.println( teamNames );
String[] splitNames = teamNames.split("\\s-\\s") ;
System.out.println( splitNames.length );
System.out.println( splitNames[0] );
name1 - name2
1
name1 - name2
Even went as far as copying the dash out of the debugger and also from the console to make sure the thing was the same as I was looking for.

Which regex implementation are you using? \s-\s works for me™ in JDK, Jakarta-ORO Perl 5, Jakarta-ORO AWK, JRegex and Jakarta-Regexp implementations.

try
Code:[ ]-[ ]
you can also use
Code:[:space:]-[:space:]

Regexp help
I'm trying to spit a string and it wants a regexp to specify the delimeter.
The delimeter should be " - " as in <space>-<space>.
I have tried \\s-\\s but that still gives me the odd error.
Anyone know how to exactly specify the delimeter?
