Remove part of string in Java

by

There are multiple ways to do it. If you have the string which you want to replace you can use the replace or replaceAll methods of the String class. If you are looking to replace a substring you can get the substring using the substring API.

For example

String str = "manchester united (with nice players)";
System.out.println(str.replace("(with nice players)", ""));
int index = str.indexOf("(");
System.out.println(str.substring(0, index));

To replace content within “()” you can use:

int startIndex = str.indexOf("(");
int endIndex = str.indexOf(")");
String replacement = "I AM JUST A REPLACEMENT";
String toBeReplaced = str.substring(startIndex + 1, endIndex);
System.out.println(str.replace(toBeReplaced, replacement));
