Converting a 2-D char array into a string
I have a char array called testArray and currently its holding for example a,b,c,d in its elements. I am trying to convert the letters in the char array into a string and theres a problem. new String(testArray); is underlined and the error is: the constructor string (char[][]) is undefined. I have populated my array using a for loop.
char testArray [] []= new char [5] [10]; String newString1 = new String(testArray); System.out.println(newString1);

Re: Converting a 2-D char array into a string
Can you explain where the char in the 2 dim array would go in the String?
If the contents go row by row, you could build Strings using the contents of each row (a row is a one dim array of char) and concatenate the Strings together.
Another way would be to use a StringBuilder class object and append the char values from the array to it one by one from loops that go over the contents of the array.
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
Re: Converting a 2-D char array into a string
Oh I just wanted to make the string to be abcd if the abcd was the result of the char array. I outputted results of a char array and I wanted to remove spaces in the output. Can you use trim for that?
Re: Converting a 2-D char array into a string
You will have to use a loop to go through the 2 dim array to get the char values into the String.
If the spaces are at the end of the String, the trim() method will remove them. If the spaces are in the middle of the String, you'll need to use the replace() method.
