Solution 1

The split method splits by regular expression, and $ is a special char (it indicates the end of the string), so you have to escape it; add two backslashes before the dollar sign:

Java

String s1 = "abc$def$hij$klm$";
String[] ary = s1.split("\\\\$");

Solution 2

You need to escape $ in split with a back-slash (\\)).

I edited your post to make the backslash appear; because CP supports Markdown now, you have to escape the backslash.
