What have you tried?
What are the rules for examples 2 and 3? The search looks a lot more complicated there.
Be sure to wrap your code with code tags:
[code=java]
YOUR CODE GOES HERE
[/code]
to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

Re: help to find common String not simple !!
First look at what tools may be useful: The String class's methods and some collection class like Map or Set to hold parts of the String as the search is made.
