Question

I have a String “Magic Word”. I need to trim the string to extract “Magic” only.
I am doing the following code.

String sentence = "Magic Word";  
String[] words = sentence.split(" ");  

for (String word : words)  
{  
   System.out.println(word);  
}  

I need only the first word.
Is there any other methods to trim a string to get first word only if space occurs?

Answer 1

  String firstWord = "Magic Word";
     if(firstWord.contains(" ")){
        firstWord= firstWord.substring(0, firstWord.indexOf(" ")); 
        System.out.println(firstWord);
     }
