How to get the path of a URL

Question

How to get "test1/test2"

Answer 1

You want something like this:

String path = new URL("http://www.costo.com/test1/test2").getPath(); 

Actually that'll give you /test1/test2. You'll just have to remove the first / to get what you want:

path = path.replaceFirst("/", ""); 

Now you'll have test1/test2 in path.
