split a string in java containing /

Question

i split the strings below by the last / of the path:

html/body/div/div/table/tbody/tr/td/div/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr/td/font/table/tbody/tr/td/p = Infoprat
html/body/div/div/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr/td/a = 547 astuces Windows 95/98
html/body/div/div/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr/td/p = Infoprat

and i got this result :

html/body/div/div/table/tbody/tr/td/div/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr/td/font/table/tbody/tr/td
html/body/div/div/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr/td/a = 547 astuces Windows 95
html/body/div/div/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr/td

but in the second line , because of a the / in 547 astuces Windows 95/98 , it didnt work. how can i ignore this / in 547 astuces Windows 95/98 ?

my code is :

line = line.substring(0,line.lastIndexOf("/"));

You can first split with = followed by splitting with / on the first element of the array. — Pramod Karandikar

You can split the string with = and then perform the required operations on the first element of the array returned by the split operation.

line = line.split("=")[0];
// input: html/body/div/div/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr/td/a = 547 astuces Windows 95/98
// output: html/body/div/div/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr/td/a
