How to remove '\0'

Hi all,

Can any one tell me how to remove '\0' from the String.

A short answer: you could use the String.replace() method to replace the 0 character with another character, or the replaceAll() method to replace it with an empty String.

But can you give me an example of what exactly you need to do? Where are you getting Strings with 0's in them?

I was not asking about '0' in String, rather '\0' in the String.

while using '\0' terminated strings as parameters for the PreparedStatement in the JDBC query, I am getting this exception.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: \0 not allowed

I was asking on that context. I need remove '\0' not '0'

Thank you for your replay. Hope now you understand my question.

A character with unicode value 0 is still 0, no matter how you write it.

OK, so, where are you getting these 0-terminated (or '\0'-terminated, if you insist I must type all those characters

) Strings from in the first place? They're not usual in Java, of course.

I did it.

String str = resultSet.getString(1)

str = str.replace((char)0,(char)13);

Ah, some broken C code is putting NUL terminators into the database! Go whack somebody on the head.

using jakarta-commons-lang, you could also StringUtils.chop(string) to remove the last character (no matter what it is)

That doesn't remove the null character, but does replace it with the character of unicode 13.

To really just remove it, use

str = str.replaceAll("\\u00", "");

Thank You Guys.
