Get the substring before the last occurrence of a separator in Java
We have the following string with a separator.
String str = "David-Warner";
We want the substring before the last occurrence of a separator. Use the lastIndexOf() method.
For that, you need to get the index of the separator using indexOf()
String separator ="-";
int sepPos = str.lastIndexOf(separator);
System.out.println("Substring before last separator = "+str.substring(0,sepPos));The following is an example.
Example
public class Demo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String str = "David-Warner";
String separator ="-";
int sepPos = str.lastIndexOf(separator);
if (sepPos == -1) {
System.out.println("");
}
System.out.println("Substring before last separator = "+str.substring(0,sepPos));
}
}Output
Substring before last separator = David
