Help is needed. ``` line.split("*"); ``` I used this line of code to split a string into an asterisk mark. However, I got an error from my compiler. It says, "INVALID REGULAR EXPRESSION: DANGLING META CHARACTER '*'" How to resolve this problem? Thanks in advance.

Accepted Answer

`*` has special meaning in regular expressions. You have to escape it.

line.split("\*");
```
