Hi

the docs for the split method are here http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#split(java.lang.String)

you will see the method returns a string array so firstly you should define your return type as String[], in your method you then need to call .split() on the mBody string. You will see from the docs their is a method which takes a regex expression as a parameter, you should use this method placing the regular expression shown in the question text inside double quotes.

I hope this was enough of a hint without just giving you the answer, if you're still struggling let mek know and I can produce shows examples to explain better.

Thanks Daniel
