Question

String text= "2011-11-19T00:00:00.000-05:00";

I have the above String .

As the date above is not in RFC format , i want to remove the colons in the string at 05:00
So taht the actual string will look like

String text= "2011-11-19T00:00:00.000-0500";

Answer 1

Since it’s the last occurrence of the colon in your string, you could do something like this:

String newText = text.substring(0, text.lastIndexOf(":")) + text.substring(text.lastIndexOf(":") + 1);

This will create a new string without the last occurrence of the colon.
