How to splitting different special characters in Java with using if contains?-CodePudding

I have “-“ characters in my strings as below. I am using if contains “-“ and splitting correctly. But some string values are also “-“ characters in different indexes. I tried to use 2nd if contains “.-“ cannot solve the issue as well. So have can I get correct outputs without “-“ characters perfectly?

13-adana-demirspor -> has 2 “-“ characters.

15-y.-malatyaspor -> has “-“ characters too.

1st and 2nd strings makes problem for splitting.

And others has only one “-“ character and no issue.

My Code is:

final String [] URL  = {
            "13-adana-demirspor",
            "14-fenerbahce",
            "15-y.-malatyaspor",
            "16-trabzonspor",
            "17-sivasspor",
            "18-konyaspor",
            "19-giresunspor",        
            "20-galatasaray"
          };

        for(int i=0; i<URL.length; i  )

        String team;

    if (URL[i].contains("-")) {
        String[] divide = URL[i].split("-");
        team = divide[1];
        System.out.println("     "   team.toUpperCase());

    } else if (URL[i].contains(".-")){
        String[] divide = URL[i].split(".-");
        team = divide[2];
        System.out.println("     "   team.toUpperCase());

    }else {
        team = null;
    }

My Output is:

ADANA ** missing second word

FENERBAHCE

Y. ** missing second word

TRABZONSPOR

SIVASSPOR

KONYASPOR

GIRESUNSPOR

GALATASARAY

Thanks for your help.

CodePudding user response：

it looks like you just want to split on the first occurence. for this you can use the second parameter of split and set that to 2. So like

if (URL[i].contains("-")) {
    String[] divide = URL[i].split("-", 2);
    team = divide[1];
    System.out.println("     "   team.toUpperCase());
} else {
    team = null;
}

to get the last part instead you could do

if (URL[i].contains("-")) {
    String[] divide = URL[i].split("-");
    team = divide[divide.length - 1];
    System.out.println("     "   team.toUpperCase());
} else {
    team = null;
}
