New to Java

Hi,

I'm having a problem with splitting a string with backslash. This code below is giving me the error "Exception in thread "main" java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException: Unexpected internal error near index 1". Please assist. Thank you.

import java.io.*;

public class TestRegex
{
	public static void main ( String args[] )
	{
		String testFilePath = new File( "" ).getAbsolutePath();
		
		System.out.println( testFilePath );
		
		File tempFile = new File( testFilePath );
		
		String[] getFolder = testFilePath.split( "\\" ); // changing to other will work
		
		for( int i = 0; i < getFolder.length; i++ )
		{
			System.out.println( getFolder[ i ] );
		}
	}
}
