I have a string completeString

String completeString = "Comp 30440 Software Engineering Project|20-credit module|Is part of your(Conversion) Programme.Deals with the creation of a twitter sentiment analysis application";

I am trying to split this string using 

String[] array = completeString.split("|");

and when I am getting the first element 

String first = array[0];

I am getting empty string. For next two elements I am getting only first letters i.e C and O (Comp).

| needs to be escaped so

\\| should do the trick
