but want output below

index[0] index[1] index[3] quarta-feira banglore,karnataka 30

is there way accomplish this

if split string regex, tell string should cut. cuts away match regex. means if split @ \w, every character split point , substrings between them (all empty) returned. java automatically removes trailing empty strings, described in documentation.

this explains why lazy match \w*? give every character, because match every position between (and before , after) character (zero-width). what's left characters of string themselves try string[] info = input.split("(?<=^\\w+),|,(?=\\d+)");

some explanations here
