Java: slicing a String

Question

I have URLs which always end on a number, for example:

  String url = "localhost:8080/myproject/reader/add/1/";
  String anotherurl = "localhost:8080/myproject/actor/take/154/";

I want to extract the number between the last two slashes ("/").

Does anyone know how I can do this?

Answer 1

You could split the string:

String[] items = url.split("/");
String number = items[items.length-1]; //last item before the last slash
