How to handle string with characters
Hi,
Can anyone suggest on how we can handle the string with special characters. For instance:
123456789BNJKNBJNBJKJKBNJKBJKNBJK"VJKNBJNHBJNJKBVJ KBJKNB"VHBVBBVNBVNBVBVBVBNBVNBNBJHFBVFJB FNVJBNVJNVJDFNVJKNVJKNVJKVNNVJ NN"
I get some user inputs with double quotes and i need to split to 80 chars line.
.length fails to get the length if it contains special characters like double quotes and ?
Thanks,
rkumar

Are you able to put it into a char array?
char[] chars = str.toCharArray();

Re: How to handle string with characters
This is the sample string we get from another system
123456789BNJKNBJNBJKJKBNJKBJKNBJK"VJKNBJNHBJNJKBVJ KBJKNB"VHBVBBVNBVNBVBVBVBNBVNBNBJHFBVFJB FNVJBNVJNVJDFNVJKNVJKNVJKVNNVJ NN
so i tried to assign it to a string which eclipse complaints.
String str = "123456789BNJKNBJNBJKJKBNJKBJKNBJK"VJKNBJNHBJNJKBV JKBJKNB"VHBVBBVNBVNBVBVBVBNBVNBNBJHFBVFJB FNVJBNVJNVJDFNVJKNVJKNVJKVNNVJ NN";
Re: How to handle string with characters
You need to escape special characters, like the "
Use: \" to add a single " to a String
For example:
String str = "1234\"567"
Is equal to:
1234"567

Re: How to handle string with characters
If the String is coming from another system then internal quotes should not be a problem.

Re: How to handle string with characters
Yes, but it sounds like he manually copied and pasted the String into the code. If he did do that, the internal quotes will be a problem.Originally Posted by Junky
