Remove string after last slash in JAVA [duplicate]

Question

I have a problem with removing everything after the last slash of URL in JAVA For instance, I have URL:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask

n' I wanna change it to:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/

How can I do it.

Answer 1

You can try this

    String str="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask";     int index=str.lastIndexOf('/');     System.out.println(str.substring(0,index)); 

Answer 2

IF you want to get the last value from the uRL

String str="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask"; System.out.println(str.substring(str.lastIndexOf("/"))); 

Result will be "/ask"

If you want value after last forward slash

String str="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask"; System.out.println(str.substring(str.lastIndexOf("/") + 1)); 

Result will be "ask"

Answer 3

Try using String#lastIndexOf()

Returns the index within this string of the last occurrence of the specified character.

String result = yourString.subString(0,yourString.lastIndexOf("/"));
