Removing certain curly brackets from a String

Question

I will receive this value from a server as a String value

 String responserecivied = {"dummyuser":{"Number":1,"CUSID":1}}

Is it possible to remove the first and last curly brackets from the above string , so that it looks like

 "dummyuser":{"Number":1,"CUSID":1}

Answer 1

It is possible:

String s = yourString.substring(1, yourString.length() - 1);

However, please note that your string is actually a JSON, so you may want to parse it using a JSON reader.
