Improve this question

A little help please. I want to strip-off a portion of my string which is made up of a number in Java.

eg. Have the following Strings - 60067 ; 600567 and 600876 and '600676600'

How do I remove 600 from each of the strings in Java so I remain with

67 ; 567 and 876 and '676600'

Please see: Why is “Can someone help me?” not an actual question? — EJoshuaS - Stand with Ukraine

As Pavneet said in his comment, this works well:

"60067".substring(3);

Also, if you want to make sure it is the string "600" that you are removing:

"60067".replaceFirst("600", "");

Java Strings have no remove method, so it's common to replace the String with a blank one, "".

try this:

String s = "60067 ; 600567 and 600876";
s = s.replaceAll("600", "");
System.out.println(s);

I got

67 ; 567 and 876

replaceAll is for regular expressions. For plain strings it is better to use replace.

You can use simply replace()(docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/…

He also probably doesn't want to replace all occurrences of the string, looking at his question, but seeing as he didn't explicitly specify, it's quite possible I could be wrong on that.
