New line for a word in a string help

[annie roberts]

How to move a word in a string down one line ?

Ex. String is " 4718384 California, United States April 2008 "

Want output: 4718384 California, April 2008
United States

If I start a new line then everything after "United States" will be on the new line.

Use \n, e.g. 4718384 California,\nUnited States April 2008

But to achieve the output that you want, you need to do some String manipulation.

The output to what you said would be
4718384 California,
United States April 2008

What types of manipulation are we talking about?

That depends on the requirements. If the String is fixed, i.e. "4718384 California, United States April 2008 " and it's fairly easy. Just take out the "United States" from the original String and append it to the original String and make sure you add the new line before appending it. You can use substring(), StringBuilder class, etc.

But if you want to achieve more than just a fixed String, you need to think further whether there's some pattern to identify that String.

I already broke the state and country apart by using substring already by using the delimitor "," .

I tried adding new line after country and it doesn't work.

ex.

System.out.print(state + "\n" + country) but everything after country is on the new line.


Nevermind, I found a way. I used the System.out.println(country) last after everything is printed.
