How to split a string from the first space occurrence only Java

Question

I tried to split a string using string.Index and string.length but I get an error that string is out of range. How can I fix that?

while (in.hasNextLine())  {      String temp = in.nextLine().replaceAll("[<>]", "");     temp.trim();      String nickname = temp.substring(temp.indexOf(' '));     String content = temp.substring(' ' + temp.length()-1);      System.out.println(content); 

Answer 1

Use the java.lang.String split function with a limit.

String foo = "some string with spaces"; String parts[] = foo.split(" ", 2); System.out.println(String.format("cr: %s, cdr: %s", parts[0], parts[1])); 

You will get:

cr: some, cdr: string with spaces 

Answer 2

Must be some around this:

String nickname = temp.substring(0, temp.indexOf(' ')); String content = temp.substring(temp.indexOf(' ') + 1);
