import java.util.Scanner;

class Main{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        String s = sc.nextLine();
        String[] arr = s.split("[ ,;:.?!]");
        System.out.println(arr.length);
        for (String string : arr) {
            System.out.println(string);
        }
    }
}

Answer

Your regexp matching only 1 character, you can add {1,2} to it so it would match 1 or 2 characters, or you can even replace it with + to match 1 or more.

import java.util.Scanner;

class Main{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        String s = sc.nextLine();
        String[] arr = s.split("[ ,;:.?!]{1,2}");
        System.out.println(arr.length);
        for (String string : arr) {
            System.out.println(string);
        }
    }
}
