I have a String Array. Whenever I fetch an Array, I get data like this
[Alex Jones, Robert Flip, Farabi Fahim]
Now, my question is
Is possible to remove [] from the result?
How can I progrmatically format names like this A.Jones, R.Flip & F.Fahim from result?
You can format the names in the way you describe with something like:
System.out.println("Alex Jones".replaceAll("^(\\w)\\w+", "$1."));
A. Jones
As for your first question, that should just be a simple substring call: arrayString.substring(1, arrayString.length() - 1).
To get Alex Jones out of the array, use names[0].
private String fixName(String name)
{
//break into name and last name
int whiteIndex = name.indexOf(' ');
String newName = name.substring(0, 1) + "." + name.substring(whiteIndex, name.length);
return newName;
}
public static void main()
{
String[] names = whateverYouUseToGetNames();
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(names));
for(int i = 0; i < names.length; i++)
System.out.println(fixName(names[i]));
}
