removing last occurence from string

[madhu gadde]

Hi all,

anyone plz help me by solving the problem i faced.
In my application i need to remove only the last occurence of the character "," from the string.There are so many "," characters in that String.

Thanks in advance.

Use the lastIndexOf method and the substring method on String and remove only the part that you would like.

String  string ="i am, because i am, i was here";
int index = string.lastIndexOf(',');
if(index != -1) {
    string = string.substring(0,index);
}

Or as an alternative use a regular expression

String string ="1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,1,2,3,,4";
string = string.replaceAll("[,]([^,]*)$","$1");
