Question

The below code is meant to trim my string. Unfortunately it’s removing more than the ‘conf’ value.

Did I do this correctly?

What this is doing is adding a double html response address, so i’m removing the first url which is ‘conf’

String pageIdUrl = response.getRedirectUrl();

if(pageIdUrl.startsWith(conf.toString()));
{
    pageIdUrl = pageIdUrl.substring(conf.toString().length());
}

It would appear that there is a misplaced semicolon that is stopping your if statement from working as you expect.

String pageIdUrl = response.getRedirectUrl();

if(pageIdUrl.startsWith(conf.toString()))
{
    pageIdUrl = pageIdUrl.substring(conf.toString().length());
}
Console.WriteLine(conf.toString());
Console.WriteLine(pageIdUrl);
