Error

Exception in thread "main" java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException: Dangling meta character '*' near index 0

 

Cause

· Split 할때 특수문자 구분을 해주는 \\가 없어서 생기는 현상

 

How

· String[] tests = string.split("\\*/"); 로 변경하여 해결

private static String countSpaceComment(String string) {
		String[] tests = string.split("\*/");
		return tests[0];
}
