copy only portion of char[] into String

Question

I have an array char[] ch. My question is the following. How can I merge values from ch[2] to ch[7] into a String? I would like to achieve this without looping through the char array. Any suggestions?

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.

Answer 1

Use new String(value, offset, count), reference.

Where offset is the starting index and count is your index difference. In your case, it's 7-2=5.

Obviously, value is your character array.

Answer 2

You can use one of the other constructors for String

There is one that takes a char array, an offset and a length.

new String(ch, 2, 5);
