I have a String
:
String thestra = "/aaa/bbb/ccc/ddd/eee";
Every time, in my situation, for this Sting, a minimum of two slashes will be present without fail.
And I am getting the /aaa/
like below, which is the subString between "FIRST TWO occurrences" of the char /
in the String.
System.out.println("/" + thestra.split("\\/")[1] + "/");
It solves my purpose but I am wondering if there is any other elegant and cleaner alternative to this?
Please notice that I need both slashes (leading and trailing) around aaa
. i.e. /aaa/
Scanner::findInLine
returning the first match of the pattern may be used:
String thestra = "/aaa/bbb/ccc/ddd/eee";
System.out.println(new Scanner(thestra).findInLine("/[^/]*/"));
Output:
/aaa/
