No problem! Com.google.appengine.api.datastore.Text objects can be
confusing to new GAE users, especially since all the other Java datastore
functions use well-known types such as String, Date, etc.

Text doesn't subclass String, so you can't use it directly. You have to use
something similar to this (assuming *text_obj* is a
com.google.appengine.api.datastore.Text object):
String[] components = text_obj.getValue().split("text that you want to
split by");
