Splitting a String in Java with underscore as delimiter

Question

I have the following String (This format for the string is generic)

abc_2012-10-18-05-37-23_prasad_hv_Complete

I want to extract only

Answer 1

What I understand by your question is that you want 3rd element to (n-1)th element of the String split by "_" to come as it is (where n is the length of array formed after splitting). So, the code would be like this:

import java.util.Arrays;

public class StringSplit {
    public static final String test = "abc_2012-10-18-05-37-23_prasad_hv_Complete";
    public static void main(String args[]){
        String[] data = test.split("_");
        System.out.println(Arrays.toString(data));
        String aim = data[2];
        for(int i=3;i
