Question

I am trying to parse a string and I need to use substring to do it. The string contains the apostrophe characters. My question is, how do I use temp to get String.indexOf to get the index of the apostrophe character?

//temp variable currently contains the string 'hello' including the apostrophe character
String finalWord = temp.substring(temp.indexOf('''), temp.indexOf('.')); 

Answer 1

Your variable name is wrong(final is a reserved word) and you should use escape character:

String finalword = temp.substring(temp.indexOf('\''), temp.indexOf('.'));
