how to remove the slash followed by the word and print the rest in Java

[Deepika Deepi]

hi all,

This is my first post in this site. I have a sentence like this

String input = "India/world is my Country and it is in Asia/in world";

I want to remove the word followed by the / and get the result of otheres.
Output
India is my Country and it is in Asia
I have tried using switch, by declaring in character. i would like to get the result without using the character. could any one help me?

If you post your code we can help you fix/improve it.

this is the code and the input is

**


    {abc}Ram/subject is/verb playing/object {def} and he will study {hij}**

I have removed the {} words inside this and i stored it in character. and get the result. Insted of moving it to character. I want to get the result using string. can you tell how to do that?

You could use String's indexOf method to find the next opening delimiter, then again to find the first closing delimiter after that, then use those two results in a call to String's substring method to extract the text between the delimiters
