How to get a string between two characters?

Question

I have a string,

String s = "test string (67)"; 

I want to get the no 67 which is the string between ( and ).

Can anyone please tell me how to do this?

Answer 1

There's probably a really neat RegExp, but I'm noob in that area, so instead...

String s = "test string (67)";  s = s.substring(s.indexOf("(") + 1); s = s.substring(0, s.indexOf(")"));  System.out.println(s);
