The typical solution would be to build your file differently, like your fields would be separated by something else but whitespace

But if you want it fragile and hacky, you could split on whitespace, check how many items you get, and from there deduce how many if them are part of the city name

The format is tab-separated, so "Salt Lake City" should still arrive as a single field because those words are being separated by spaces not tabs

./run java

var x = "one\tSalt Lake City\ttwo";
System.out.println(java.util.Arrays.asList(x.split("\t")));

Here is your java(15.0.2) output @normal mesa

[one, Salt Lake City, two]
