How to withdraw a specific from a String?

[equal]

Hi, i have a "windows URL" and I want to take the last thing in that url and save in a String.

The url is like
C:\Music\Song.mp3
I've come up with this:

String name[] = urlString.Split("'\'");
System.out.println(name[0]);
Which gives me:
"C:\Music\Song.mp3"

But what can I use to save "Song.mp3" to a string?

Thanks

Does a lastIndexOf("\\") help?

Tried: String test = urlString.lastIndexOf("\\");

But it wants to change String to int. And when I do that it returns "2".

That's because lastIndexOf returns an int. Then you can use that int to get the proper subString.

You could also still split the String, but realize that the parameter to the split method is a regular expression, and so you need to use "\\\\":

      String urlString = "C:\\Music\\Song.mp3";
      String[] tokens = urlString.split("\\\\");
      System.out.println(tokens[tokens.length - 1]);

Ok, sorry, but how do I do that?

Thanks, I got it all sorted now!

That's why the API documentation exists; to prevent users/programmers from trying random guesses. Read it. (the lastIndexOf( ... ) method is in the String class).
