How to remove first and last character of a string?

Question

I have worked in a SOAP message to get the LoginToken from a Webservice, and store that LoginToken as a String. U used System.out.println(LoginToken); to print the value. This prints [wdsd34svdf], but I want only wdsd34svdf. How can I remove these square brackets at the start and end of the output?

Example:

String LoginToken=getName().toString(); System.out.println("LoginToken" + LoginToken); 

The output is: [wdsd34svdf].

I want just wdsd34svdf

You need to find the index of [ and ] then substring. (Here [ is always at start and ] is at end):

String loginToken = "[wdsd34svdf]"; System.out.println( loginToken.substring( 1, loginToken.length() - 1 ) );
