Question

Say I had String s = "This is a loooooooooooooooong string";. Now say I want to cut off This and return everything else. How would I do this? What I’m asking is, is there a method that returns everything after x characters?

Answer 1

Yes there is. And that method is the substring() method, which takes an integer as its argument and slices off everything before the specified character position.

String s = "This is a loooooooooooooooong string";
System.out.println(s.substring(5));

Output:

is a loooooooooooooooong string
