I want to get the value from a string.
I have a string value like this:
String myData= "Number: 34678 Type: Internal Qty: 34";
How can I get the Number, Type, Qty values separately?
Give me any suggestion on this.
Input:
String myData= "Number: 34678 Type: Internal Qty: 34";
Output:
Number value is 34678
Type values is Internal
Qty value is 34
Here is one way to do it. It looks for a word following by a colon followed by zero or more spaces followed by another word. This works regardless of the order or names of the fields.
String myData = "Number: 34678 Type: Internal Qty: 34";
Matcher m = Pattern.compile("(\\S+):\\s*(\\S+)").matcher(myData);
while (m.find()) {
System.out.println(m.group(1) + " value is " + m.group(2));
}
You can use regex to do this cleanly:
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("Number: (\\d*) Type: (.*) Qty: (\\d*)");
Matcher m = p.matcher(myData);
m.find()
So you'll get the number with m.group(1), the Type m.group(2) and the Qty m.group(3).
I assume you accept a limited number of types. So you can change the regex to match only if the type is correct, for eg. either Internal or External: "Number: (\\d*) Type: (Internal|External) Qty: (\\d*)"
If you just want to print them with fixed pattern of input data, a simplest way is shown as follows: (Just for fun!)
System.out.print(myData.replace(" Type", "\nType")
.replace(" Qty", "\nQty")
.replace(":", " value is"));
I suppose the string is always formatted like that. I.e., n attribute names each followed by a value that does not contain spaces. In other words, the 2n entities are separated from each other by 1 or more spaces.
If so, try this:
String[] parts;
int limit;
int counter;
String name;
String value;
parts = myData.split("[ ]+");
limit = (parts.length / 2) * 2; // Make sure an even number of elements is considered
for (counter = 0; counter < limit; counter += 2)
{
name = parts[counter].replace(":", "");
value = parts[counter + 1];
System.out.println(name + " value is " + value);
}
This Should work
String replace = val.replace(": ", "|");
StringBuilder number = new StringBuilder();
StringBuilder type = new StringBuilder();
StringBuilder qty = new StringBuilder();
String[] getValues = replace.split(" ");
int i=0;
while(i<getValues.length-1){
String[] splitNumebr = getValues[i].split("\\|");
number.append(splitNumebr[1]);
String[] splitType = getValues[i+=1].split("\\|");
type.append(splitType[1]);
String[] splitQty = getValues[i+=1].split("\\|");
qty.append(splitQty[1]);
}
System.out.println(String.format("Number value is %s",number.toString()));
System.out.println(String.format("Type value is %s",type.toString()));
System.out.println(String.format("Qty value is %s",qty.toString()));
}
Output
Number value is 34678
Type value is Internal
Qty value is 34
