Whitespace in first array position with myString.split("\\s+")
<p>So I have a string:  </p>

<pre><code>String myString = "[tab][space]this[space][tab]is[space]a[space][tab]string";
String[] mySplit = myString.split("\\s+");

System.out.println(mySplit.length);
for (String s : mySplit) 
    System.out.println(s);  
</code></pre>

<p>Gives me:  </p>

<pre><code>5
[whitespace] 
this
is
a
string
</code></pre>

<p>Why is this and how do I stop that first position from being filled with whitespace?</p>
