      for(int i =0; i < temp.length ; i++){
         System.out.println(temp[i]);
         System.out.println("");

         delimeter = "\\.";
         temp = str.split(delimeter);
      }
      for(int i =0; i < temp.length ; i++){
         System.out.println(temp[i]);
         System.out.println("");
         temp = str.split(delimeter,2);
         for(int j =0; j < temp.length ; j++){
            System.out.println(temp[i]);
         }
