how can i split a string inside curly braces?

Question

I have a string which looks like this

[{"TransactionId":"3574780600039252015-12-24 T 14:22:03"

Now I want to split only the text where the "TransactionId" will be part one and after : will be the second part.

Code I've tried :

String[] transid_result = result.split(":");
String part1 = transid_result[0];
String part2 = transid_result[1];

The result is

• part1 contains [{"TransactionId
• part2 contains "3574780600039252015-12-24 T 14

I want part2 to contain "3574780600039252015-12-24 T 14:22:03"

Can anyone help me ?

Answer 1

You could search for the first : and manually split by that:

int firstColon = result.indexOf(":");
String part1 = result.substring(0,firstColon);
String part2 = result.substring(firstColon+1, result.length());

Answer 2

If you're sure the data will always be in this format, then you could use

String[] elements = result.split("\"");
String transactionId = elements[3];
