You can use a regular expression to capture every character preceded by 0 or more of itself.
<syntaxhighlight lang="java">
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
</syntaxhighlight>
<syntaxhighlight lang="java">
String split(String string) {
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("(.)\\1*");
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(string);
StringBuilder strings = new StringBuilder();
int index = 0;
while (matcher.find()) {
if (index++ != 0)
strings.append(", ");
strings.append(matcher.group());
}
return strings.toString();
}
</syntaxhighlight>

g, HHH, 5, YY, ++, ///, \
