I am trying to split a String by . :

String sentences[] = fileContent.split(".");

fileContent is a string that contains the complete text data from a file. In the file there are 4 sentences some separated by white space gaps.

When I print sentences[n] it gives a blank . Why is it so when sentences.length prints 95.

Data structured in fileContent looks like : (no-meaning text)
