System.out.println("size is----------"+b.length);

Basically, when you have no matching delimiters, then there is nothing to split -- the whole string is one field.

split function splits the string into tokens which it identifies by expression given as parameter to split (in your case ,).The whole string as a single token still remains even if there is no separating char in it.
