Java: How to get the last word of the dynamic string

Question

I have below string which I need to capture last word.

Below is my code but its not getting the last word.

The string at below location is dynamic and is not static string.

String secques1 = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@class='small-12 medium-4 medium-offset-4 columns']/div/div/div/div[1]/div/div[1]/label")).getText();

String lastWord = secques1.substring(secques1.lastIndexOf(" ")+1);`

Answer 1

I have a suggestion string may contains space in it's trailing:

First: try to trim string trailing (string.trim())

second: print the whole text

and check the leading and trailing spaces then print the last word I think this will help you.

Answer 2

The result of getText() is always with blank. And you made a mistake that if the secques1 end with bank the program will throw exception. so ,you need to do like this:

String secques1 = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@class='small-12 medium-4 medium-offset-4 columns']/div/div/div/div[1]/div/div[1]/label")).getText().trim();

add trim()

String lastWord = secques1.substring(secques1.length()-1);

Answer 3

This should work:

String secques1 = " " + driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@class='small-12 medium-4 medium-offset-4 columns']/div/div/div/div[1]/div/div[1]/label")).getText();
String lastWord = secques1.substring(secques1.lastIndexOf(" ")+1);
