String handling

[Priyadharshini Nagarajan]

Hi

String x = new String("hai welcome , ");

tell me how i can remove that last comma and space..

[Vijayendra V Rao]

String x = new String("hai welcome , ");
x = x.substring(0,11); 

A better way would be:

String x = "hai welcome , ";
x = x.substring(0,11);

This should really be in Java/Basic but, since your here....

Assuming you know that it will consistently be a ", ".

if(str.endsWith(", "))
    str = str.substring(0, (str.length() - 2));

If there are other variations that will need to be handled, look at the String's lastInstanceOf and trim methods, or better, if you can use jsdk1.4 or higher, the regexp tools that now ship with Java.
