Question

I am reading some data from an RSS feed to display on an android device.

The string may or may not have an identifier in brackets at the start e.g.

This is a title of something...

[Brochures] This is a brochure title

[Thought Leadership] This is something else

I want to remove the identifier from the string if it has one before I display it on the screen. I think regex is the best way but having some trouble getting my head around the syntax.

Any suggestions or solutions greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

string.replaceAll("\\[.*?\\]","");
