Use split method with stringbuilder together in the same class?

Anonymous User 1893 22 Dec 2015
StringBuilder to hide vowels:

String bienvenue_intro = " Welcome! Java First Semester: 455, java street: City (State): Country: 575757 ";
            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(bienvenue_intro);
             String[] introduction = bienvenue_intro.split(":"); 
            for (int i = 0; i < bienvenue_intro.length(); i++)
            {
                char c = bienvenue_intro.charAt(i);
                if (   (c == 'A') || (c == 'a')
                     || (c == 'E') || (c == 'e')
                     || (c == 'I') || (c == 'i')
                     || (c == 'O') || (c == 'o')
                     || (c == 'U') || (c == 'u'))
                {
                    sb.setCharAt(i, '*');
                }
            }
            System.out.println(bienvenue_intro);;
            System.out.println(sb.toString());

The output of the above code is:

Welcome! Java First Semester: 455, java street: City (State): Country: 575757 
 W*lc*m*! J*v* F*rst S*m*st*r: 455, j*v* str**t: C*ty (St*t*): C**ntry: 575757 
Method split to break the lines:

for (int i = 0; i < introduction.length; i++)
            System.out.println(introduction[i]);
The desired output using split + string builder would be:

W*lc*m*! J*v* F*rst S*m*st*r
 455, j*v* str**t
 C*ty (St*t*)
 C**ntry
 575757 
But both together it does not work! Is it even possible to team StringBuilder with the Split method?

Don't split the String before, first to the transformation. StringBuilder will perform the in-place character replacement for you and get the replaced String using toString() and perform the split on it.

String bienvenue_intro = " Welcome! Java First Semester: 455, java street: City (State): Country: 575757 ";
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(bienvenue_intro);
for (int i = 0; i < bienvenue_intro.length(); i++) {
  char c = bienvenue_intro.charAt(i);
  if (   (c == 'A') || (c == 'a')
      || (c == 'E') || (c == 'e')
      || (c == 'I') || (c == 'i')
      || (c == 'O') || (c == 'o')
      || (c == 'U') || (c == 'u')) {
    sb.setCharAt(i, '*');
  }
}
System.out.println(bienvenue_intro);
//System.out.println(sb.toString());
String[] introduction = sb.toString().split(":");  //<-- Do the split here after replacements.
for (String string : introduction) {
  System.out.println(string);
}
Output:
 W*lc*m*! J*v* F*rst S*m*st*r
 455, j*v* str**t
 C*ty (St*t*)
 C**ntry
