title: Java regex ignore '.' symbol
body: <p>I'm trying to split a string at every '.' (period), but periods are a symbol used by java regexes. Example code,</p>
  
  <pre><code>String outstr = "Apis dubli hre. Agro duli demmos,".split(".");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can't escape the period character, so how else do I get Java to ignore it?</p>
