Trim a string in java to get first word

Question

I have a String "Magic Word". I need to trim the string to extract "Magic" only. I am doing the following code.

String sentence = "Magic Word";   String[] words = sentence.split(" ");    for (String word : words)   {      System.out.println(word);   }   

I need only the first word. Is there any other methods to trim a string to get first word only if space occurs?

Answer 1

  String firstWord = "Magic Word";      if(firstWord.contains(" ")){         firstWord= firstWord.substring(0, firstWord.indexOf(" "));          System.out.println(firstWord);      }
