JAVA Get text from String

Hi I get this String from server :
id_not="autoincrement"; id_obj="-"; id_tr="-"; id_pgo="-"; typ_not=""; tresc="Nie wystawił"; datetime="-"; lon="-"; lat="-";
I need to create a new String e.x String word and send a value which I get from String tresc="Nie wystawił"

Like #Jan suggest in comment you can use regex for example :
String str = "id_not=\"autoincrement\"; id_obj=\"-\"; id_tr=\"-\"; id_pgo=\"-\"; typ_not=\"\"; tresc=\"Nie wystawił\"; datetime=\"-\"; lon=\"-\"; lat=\"-\";";
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("tresc(.*?);");
Matcher m = p.matcher(str);
if (m.find()) {
System.out.println(m.group());
}
Output
tresc="Nie wystawił";
If you want to get only the value of tresc you can use :
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("tresc=\"(.*?)\";");
Matcher m = p.matcher(str);
if (m.find()) {
System.out.println(m.group(1));
}
Output
Nie wystawił

Something along the lines of
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("tresc=\"([^\"]+)\");
Matcher m = p.matcher(stringFromServer);
if(m.find()) {
String whatYouWereLookingfor = m.group(1);
}
should to the trick. JSON parsing might be much better in the long run if you need additional values

Your question is unclear but i think you get a string from server and from that string you want the string/value for tresc. You can first search for tresc in the string you get. like:
serverString.substring(serverString.indexOf("tresc") + x , serverString.length());
Here replace x with 'how much further you want to pick characters.
Read on substring and delimiters
As values are separated by semicolon so annother solution could be:
int delimiter = serverstring.indexOf(";");
//in string thus giving you the index of where it is in the string
// Now delimiter can be -1, if lets say the string had no ";" at all in it i.e. no ";" is not found.
//check and account for it.
if (delimiter != -1)
String subString= serverstring.substring(5 , iend);
Here 5 means tresc is on number five in string, so it will five you tresc part.
You can then use it anyway you want.

How to split a long string in Java?

How to edit this string and split it into two?
String asd = {RepositoryName: CodeCommitTest,RepositoryId: 425f5fc5-18d8-4ae5-b1a8-55eb9cf72bef};
I want to make two strings.
String reponame;
String RepoID;
reponame should be CodeCommitTest
repoID should be 425f5fc5-18d8-4ae5-b1a8-55eb9cf72bef
Can someone help me get it? Thanks

Here is Java code using a regular expression in case you can't use a JSON parsing library (which is what you probably should be using):
String pattern = "^\\{RepositoryName:\\s(.*?),RepositoryId:\\s(.*?)\\}$";
String asd = "{RepositoryName: CodeCommitTest,RepositoryId: 425f5fc5-18d8-4ae5-b1a8-55eb9cf72bef}";
String reponame = "";
String repoID = "";
Pattern r = Pattern.compile(pattern);
Matcher m = r.matcher(asd);
if (m.find()) {
reponame = m.group(1);
repoID = m.group(2);
System.out.println("Found reponame: " + reponame + " with repoID: " + repoID);
} else {
System.out.println("NO MATCH");
}
This code has been tested in IntelliJ and runs without error.
Output:
Found reponame: CodeCommitTest with repoID: 425f5fc5-18d8-4ae5-b1a8-55eb9cf72bef

Assuming there aren't quote marks in the input, and that the repository name and ID consist of letters, numbers, and dashes, then this should work to get the repository name:
Pattern repoNamePattern = Pattern.compile("RepositoryName: *([A-Za-z0-9\\-]+)");
Matcher matcher = repoNamePattern.matcher(asd);
if (matcher.find()) {
reponame = matcher.group(1);
}
and you can do something similar to get the ID. The above code just looks for RepositoryName:, possibly followed by spaces, followed by one or more letters, digits, or hyphen characters; then the group(1) method extracts the name, since it's the first (and only) group enclosed in () in the pattern.

Extracting two substrings from one string

I am trying to extract the 00 and 02 from the line below into Strings.
invokestatic:indexbyte1=00 indexbyte2=02
I am using this code, but it's not working correctly:
String parse = "invokestatic:indexbyte1=00 indexbyte2=02";
String first = parse.substring(check.indexOf("=") + 1);
String second= parse.substring(check.lastIndexOf("=") + 1);
This seems to work for the seconds string, but the first strings value is
00 indexbyte2=02
I want to catch just the two digits and not the rest of the string.

If you don't specify the second parameter in substring method it will result in a substring from the starting index to the end of string that's why you get "00 indexbyte2=02" for first.
Specify the last index only to extract two digits when you extract value for first
String first = parse.substring(check.indexOf("=") + 1, check.indexOf("=") + 3);

You can use a regex pattern with groups, like this:
public static void main(String[] args) {
String input = "invokestatic:indexbyte1=00 indexbyte2=02";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(".*indexbyte1=(\\d*) indexbyte2=(\\d*)");
Matcher m = pattern.matcher(input);
if (m.matches()) {
System.out.println(m.group(1));
System.out.println(m.group(2));
}
}

Try this:
String first = parse.substring(check.indexOf("=") + 1, check.indexOf("=") + 3);
check.indexOf("=") + 3 will take the 02 and will be the endindex for the substring. Presently you are not specifying the endindex hence it is taking the indexbyte2=02 as well since substring does not know where to stop hence it parses down till the end.

String parse = "invokestatic:indexbyte1=00 indexbyte2=02";
String first = parse.substring(parse.indexOf("=") + 1,
parse.indexOf("=") + 3);
String second = parse.substring(parse.lastIndexOf("=") + 1);
System.out.println(first + ", " + second);

You could use Pattern, Matcher clases.
Matcher m = Pattern.compile("(?<==)\\d+").matcher(string);
while(m.find())
{
System.out.println(m.group());
}

substring also has an endIndex. See the docs: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#substring(int,%20int)

If the input has the basic form invokestatic:indexbyte1=00 indexbyte2=02 ... indexbyte99=99 you could use a regex:
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("indexbyte\\d+=([a-fA-F0-9]{2})");
Matcher m = p.matcher(input);
while( m.find() ) {
String idxByte = m.group(1);
//handle the byte here
}
This assumes that the identifier for those bytes is indexbyteN but this can be replaced with another identifier. Further this assumes the bytes are provided in hex, i.e. 2 hex characters (case insensitive here).

Extract given substring from a paragraph

I want to perform the following functionality :
From a given paragraph extract the given String, like
String str= "Hello this is paragraph , Ali#yahoo.com . i am entering random email here as this one AHmar#gmail.com " ;
What I have to do is to parse the whole paragraph, read the Email address, and print their server names , i have tried it using for loop with substring method , did use indexOf , but might be my logic is not that good to get it , can someone help me with it please?

You need to use Regular Expression for this case.
Try the below Regex: -
String str= "Hello this is paragraph , Ali#yahoo.com . i am " +
"entering random email here as this one AHmar#gmail.com " ;
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("#(\\S+)\\.\\w+");
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(str);
while (matcher.find()) {
System.out.println(matcher.group(1));
}
OUTPUT: -
yahoo
gmail
UPDATE: -
Here's the code with substring and indexOf: -
String str= "Hello this is paragraph , Ali#yahoo.com . i am " +
"entering random email here as this one AHmar#gmail.com " ;
while (str.contains("#") && str.contains(".")) {
int index1 = str.lastIndexOf("#"); // Get last index of `#`
int index2 = str.indexOf(".", index1); // Get index of first `.` after #
// Substring from index of # to index of .
String serverName = str.substring(index1 + 1, index2);
System.out.println(serverName);
// Replace string by removing till the last #,
// so as not to consider it next time
str = str.substring(0, index1);
}

You need to use a regular expression to extract the email. Start off with this test harness code. Next, construct your regular expression and you should be able to extract the email address.

Try this:-
String e= "Hello this is paragraph , Ali#yahoo.com . i am entering random email here as this one AHmar#gmail.comm";
e= e.trim();
String[] parts = e.split("\\s+");
for (String e: parts)
{
if(e.indexOf('#') != -1)
{
String temp = e.substring(e.indexOf("#") + 1);
String serverName = temp.substring(0, temp.indexOf("."));
System.out.println(serverName); }}

Regex composion

I want to parse a line from a CSV(comma separated) file, something like this:
Bosh,Mark,mark#gmail.com,"3, Institute","83, 1, 2",1,21
I have to parse the file, and instead of the commas between the apostrophes I wanna have ';', like this:
Bosh,Mark,mark#gmail.com,"3; Institute","83; 1; 2",1,21
I use the following Java code but it doesn't parse it well:
Pattern regex = Pattern.compile("(\"[^\\]]*\")");
Matcher matcher = regex.matcher(line);
if (matcher.find()) {
String replacedMatch = matcher.group();
String gr1 = matcher.group(1);
gr1.trim();
replacedMatch = replacedMatch.replace(",", ";");
line = line.replace(matcher.group(), replacedMatch);
}
the output is:
Bosh,Mark,mark#gmail.com,"3; Institute";"83; 1; 2",1,21
anyone have any idea how to fix this?

This is my solution to replace , inside quote to ;. It assumes that if " were to appear in a quoted string, then it is escaped by another ". This property ensures that counting from start to the current character, if the number of quotes " is odd, then that character is inside a quoted string.
// Test string, with the tricky case """", which resolves to
// a length 1 string of single quote "
String line = "Bosh,\"\"\"\",mark#gmail.com,\"3, Institute\",\"83, 1, 2\",1,21";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("\"[^\"]*\"");
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(line);
int start = 0;
StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
while (matcher.find()) {
// System.out.println(m.group() + "\n " + m.start() + " " + m.end());
output
.append(line.substring(start, matcher.start())) // Append unrelated contents
.append(matcher.group().replaceAll(",", ";")); // Append replaced string
start = matcher.end();
}
output.append(line.substring(start)); // Append the rest of unrelated contents
// System.out.println(output);
Although I cannot find any case that will fail the method of replace the matched group like you did in line = line.replace(matcher.group(), replacedMatch);, I feel safer to rebuild the string from scratch.

Here's a way:
import java.util.regex.*;
class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String in = "Bosh,Mark,mark#gmail.com,\"3, \"\" Institute\",\"83, 1, 2\",1,21";
String regex = "[^,\"\r\n]+|\"(\"\"|[^\"])*\"";
Matcher matcher = Pattern.compile(regex).matcher(in);
StringBuilder out = new StringBuilder();
while(matcher.find()) {
out.append(matcher.group().replace(',', ';')).append(',');
}
out.deleteCharAt(out.length() - 1);
System.out.println(in + "\n" + out);
}
}
which will print:
Bosh,Mark,mark#gmail.com,"3, "" Institute","83, 1, 2",1,21
Bosh,Mark,mark#gmail.com,"3; "" Institute","83; 1; 2",1,21
Tested on Ideone: http://ideone.com/fCgh7

Here is the what you need
String line = "Bosh,Mark,mark#gmail.com,\"3, Institute\",\"83, 1, 2\",1,21";
Pattern regex = Pattern.compile("(\"[^\"]*\")");
Matcher matcher = regex.matcher(line);
while(matcher.find()){
String replacedMatch = matcher.group();
String gr1 = matcher.group(1);
gr1.trim();
replacedMatch = replacedMatch.replace(",", ";");
line = line.replace(matcher.group(), replacedMatch);
}
line will have value you needed.

Have you tried to make the RegExp lazy?
Another idea: inside the [] you should use a " too. If you do that, you should have the expected output with global flag set.

Your regex is faulty. Why would you want to make sure there are no ] within the "..." expression? You'd rather make the regex reluctant (default is eager, which means it catches as much as it can).
"(\"[^\\]]*\")"
should be
"(\"[^\"]*\")"
But nhadtdh is right, you should use a proper CSV library to parse it and replace , to ; in the values the parser returns.
I'm sure you'll find a parser when googling "Java CSV parser".

Shouldn't your regex be ("[^"]*") instead? In other words, your first line should be:
Pattern regex = Pattern.compile("(\"[^\"]*\")");
Of course, this is assuming you can't have quotes in the quoted values of your input line.
