Java String Replace

[aham]

Hi,

I've the following string

String abc = "POST;DELETE;PUT;/user/testing/[0-9]*/"

I wanna replace the string after the last ';' available in the above string.

The option that I found is
token.replaceAll("(.*)(;.*$)", "$1")

Any better suggestion?

Thanks
Aham

If it will always be the last semi-colon then you can use lastIndexOf and substring.

(untested)

replaceAll(";[^;]*$", "")

Always provided I correctly interpreted

I wanna replace the string after the last ';' available in the above string.

which isn't adequately clear.

When seeking help with regexes, it's always better to post a few examples of input and desired output.

Thanks, I like the replaceAll(";[^;]*$", "") option.
