How to extract the string between two "/" characters

Question

So I'm trying to extract the strings between the / delimiters of the url. This has proven to be a bit hard for me as Java does not accept "/" as a char.

String temp = "svn+ssh://xxxxxx.net/var/lib/webprojects/xxx/xxx/WebContent/images/Calendar_icon.png";

How could I get, from this String : images , WebContent , etc... ?

Answer 1

How about splitting the string by / -

String[] parts = temp.split("/");

and accessing the relevant parts by their index positions.

Answer 2

First, use a regex to remove what you don't want:

String temp = temp.replaceAll("^.*//xxxxxx.net","");

Then split it:

String[] parts = temp.split("/");

Answer 3

You should use split function. With this, you will have your String divide in an array of Strings by the positions of where "/" it's placed. So, for example, if you want to access to the url, in your case will be:

String split[] = temp.split("/"); //Here you have your String divide.

So, to access to the url (look that it is on the second position of the array (because in the first position it's svn+ssh:) you will have to do:

split[1];

I expect it will be helpful for you!
