Substring : get index of “or” occurrence in string
How to substring
the third number in the following String
:
String val = "2020202030 or 303030303 or 303033303";
The solution for two numbers is as follows:
String val = "2020202030 or 303030303
firstNumber = val.substring(0,val.indexOf("or")-1);
secondNumber = val.substring(val.indexOf("or") + 3,val.length());
But how to get the index of the second “or” in the String
below?
String val = "2020202030 or 303030303 or 303033303";
firstNumber = val.substring(0,val.indexOf("or")-1);
secondNumber = val.substring(val.indexOf("or")-1,<index of second or >?);
thirdNumber= val.substring(<index of second or>?,val.length());
Solution
Use splitting:
String[] numbers = val.split(" or ");
numbers[2]
will contain a third number.
If you prefer to use indexOf
to get the index of the second “or”, use the int indexOf(String str, int fromIndex)
variant.
