I went through a couple of examples to replace a given sub-string from a given string with ""
but could not achieve the result. The String is too long to post and it contains a sub-string which is as follows:-
/image/journal/article?img_id=24810&t=1475128689597
I want to replace this sub-string with "".Here the value of img_id
and t
can vary, so I would have to use regular expression. I tried with the following code:-
String regex="^/image/journal/article?img_id=([0-9])*&t=([0-9])*$";
content=content.replace(regex,"");
Here content is the original given string. But this code is actually not replacing anything from the content
. So please help..any help would be appreciated .thanx in advance.
Use replaceAll
works in nice way with regex
content=content.replaceAll("[0-9]*","");
Code
String content="/image/journal/article?img_id=24810&t=1475128689597";
content=content.replaceAll("[0-9]*","");
System.out.println(content);
Output :
/image/journal/article?img_id=&t=
Update : simple, might be little less cozy but easy one
String content="sas/image/journal/article?img_id=24810&t=1475128689597";
content=content.replaceAll("\\/image.*","");
System.out.println(content);
Output:
sas
If there is something more after t=1475128689597/?tag=343sdds
and you want to retain ?tag=343sdds
then use below
String content="sas/image/journal/article?img_id=24810&t=1475128689597/?tag=343sdds";
content=content.replaceAll("(\\/image.*[0-9]+[\\/])","");
System.out.println(content);
}
Output:
sas?tag=343sdds
If you're trying to replace the substring of the URL with two quotations like so:
/image/journal/article?img_id=""&t=""
Then you need to add escaped quotes \\"\\"
inside your content assignment, edit your regex to only look for the numbers, and change it to replaceAll:
content=content.replaceAll(regex,"\"\"");
You can use Java regex Utility to replace your String with ""
or (any desired String literal), based on given pattern (regex) as following:
String content = "ALPHA_/image/journal/article?img_id=24810&t=1475128689597_BRAVO";
String regex = "\\/image\\/journal\\/article\\?img_id=\\d+&t=\\d+";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(regex);
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(content);
if (matcher.find()) {
String replacement = matcher.replaceAll("PK");
System.out.println(replacement); // Will print ALPHA_PK_BRAVO
