Removing Specific Characters From A String

May 7, 2014

I just need to write a simple program/function that replaces certain letters from a string (i.e. censor( "college", "aeiou" ) returns "cllg"). I'm trying to get the code right first, and then write a function for it.I basically just thought that I would iterate over the first string, and once I had the first character, I would then iterate over the second string, to see if the character exists. I'm getting a "dead code" error on my second loop because I put the second "break."

public class ap {
public static void main(String [] args){
String s = "Hello";
String s2 = "aeiou";

Removing Specific Line From Text File That Contains Certain String?

Mar 8, 2014

So basically, if a line in a text file contains a certain string, that specific line will be deleted. It should probably be similair to this method?

Java Code:

* Replace text.
* @param replace
* The text to replace.
* @param replaceWith
* The text to replace with.
*/
public static void replaceSelected(String replace, String replaceWith) {
try {
BufferedReader file = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("data/replacer.txt"));

String From User Not Removing Spaces

Apr 6, 2014

I'm not sure why but my infix string isn't removing the spaces. Here is the part of the code:

Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter Infix express: ");
String infix = s.nextLine();
infix.replaceAll("\s", "").trim();
System.out.println(infix);
InfixtoPostfix convert = new InfixtoPostfix(infix);
String postfix = convert.toPostFix();
System.out.println("Converted Express: " + postfix);

Is there something I'm doing wrong? Here is the output when I run it:

Enter Infix expression:
(7 + x) * (8 – 2) / 4 + (x + 2)
(7 + x) * (8 – 2) / 4 + (x + 2)
Converted Expression: 7 x+ 8 – 2* /4 x 2++

String Split Method To Tokenize String Of Characters Inputted?

Sep 27, 2014

I am currently trying to make a calculator in Java. I want to use the String split method to tokenize the string of characters inputted. I thought I was using the String split method wrongly, because I had surrounded the characters I wanted to delimit with square brackets. However, when I removed the square brackets, the code threw an exception when I pressed the equal button. The exception was a PatternSyntaxException exception. Am I using the String split method wrongly? And why is the exception thrown? Here is my code:

import javax.swing.*;//import the packages needed for gui
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import static java.lang.Math.*;
public class CalculatorCopy {

Tokenize A String - Removing Numeric From A TreeSet

Nov 23, 2014

I am using a TreeSet to tokenize a string. The output is sorted with numeric first followed by words

E.g. 13 26 45 and before etc.....................

Is there a tidy way to remove the numeric?

Last bit of my code is :-

// print the words separating them with a space
for(String word : words) {
System.out.print(word + " ");
}
} catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe) {
System.err.println("Cannot read the input file - pass a valid file name");

Removing Item From String Array - Null Pointer Exception Error

Jun 8, 2014

Question 1: I am working on an assignment where I have to remove an item from a String array (see code below). When I try to remove an item after entering it I get the following error "java.lang.NullPointerException." I am not sure how to correct this error.

Question 2: In addition, I am having trouble figuring out how to count the number of occurrences of each string in the array and print the counts. I've been looking at other posts but they are more advanced and I have not yet learned how to use some of the tools they are referring to.

private void removeFlower(String flowerPack[]) {
// TODO: Remove a flower that is specified by the user

Ignore Certain Characters In A String

Apr 5, 2014

I'm trying to loop through a string and depending on the character, add a JLabel to a game. The problem is the character 'L' represents a lantern but is also used in the reply the game gives which is "LOOKREPLY". I've tried to use some code to ignore the LOOKREPLY bit but it's not working. Here's what I've tried.

else if(message.charAt(i) == 'L' && message.charAt(i+1) != 'O' | message.charAt(i+1) == 'Y'){
JLabel localLabel = new JLabel();
localLabel.setIcon(lantern);
panel.add(localLabel);
panel.revalidate();
panel.repaint();

But the first image on all of the JLabels is always a lantern, which is what L represents. As it's only 1 lantern this leads me to believe that it's ignoring the first 'L' but for some reason it's not ignoring the 'L' at the end of LOOKREPLY.

Getting Characters Into Array From A String

Combining Characters Into A String

Sep 10, 2014

So what my program is supposed to do is take a number inputted by the use and then take a phrase. It then changes that phrases letter by the number inputted prior for example if you type in 2 as your int and Hello as your phrase you should get JGNNQ, which i can do. but the problem is that when i run it, it outputs like this:

J
G
N
N
Q

As separate characters how can I combine those characters in 1 string so it looks like JGNNQ? this is my code

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Dcod_MAin {
private static final Object[] String = null;
public static void main(String[] args){
Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);
System.out.println("What is the day of the month");
int shift;

How To Check A String For NON-Alphabetic Characters

Oct 2, 2014

I have to check a String input from the user in the form of firstName lastName (i.e. John Smith). I have to check for an exception called NonAlphabeticCharacterException that gets thrown if there is anything but a number in that string. This is what I have right now but should I create an array of char for the alphabet and then check the whole string for non alphabetic characters?

for(int i=0; i<name.length(); i++) {
if()){
throw new NonAlphabeticCharactersException("Non-alphabetic character found");
}

Characters From String In Alphabetic Order Using Quicksort

I am trying to do a program that takes all of the chars from a string and orders them in alphabetical order. It works fine, but when a is a last letter of a string it isn't being sorted.

Here is my code:

public class sorty{

int i = low;
int j = high;
if (j - i < 2) return;
int m = (j+i)/2;

String Characters Display First Three Multiple Times

Sep 26, 2014

I am trying below challenge to display first three characters three times if the size of the string is greater than 3.

Say if i send hello i should get helhelhel

if i send xyz i should get xyzxyzxyz

I wrote as below

public String front3(String str) {
if(str.length()==3){
return str+str+str;
}
if(str.length()>3){
String str2=new String(new char[]{str.charAt(0),str.charAt(1),str.charAt(2)});
return str2;
}
}

I am getting error as below

Error:public String front3(String str) {
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This method must return a result of type String

Possible problem: the if-statement structure may theoretically allow a run to reach the end of the method without calling return. Consider adding a last line in the method return some_value; so a value is always returned.

Change Input String To Array Of Characters

Dec 11, 2014

I am trying to change an input String to an array of characters, but it only stores the word before the space into the array. Here is the code:

Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println(" Enter text: " );
String text = scanner.next();
char[] characterArray = text.toCharArray(); // convert string to array of characters
String char = "";
for( i = 0; i < characterArray.length; i++) {
char = char + characterArray[i]
} System.out.println(char);

Just typing hello gives me hello, but when I type hello world it does not type in the word "world".I am trying to change an input String to an array of characters, but it only stores the word before the space into the array.Here is the code:

char[] characterArray = text.toCharArray(); // convert string to array of characters
String char = "";
for( i = 0; i < characterArray.length; i++) {
char = char + characterArray[i]

String Manipulation - Extract Substrings Consisting Of First N-4 And Last Three Characters

Feb 18, 2014

I do have a quick question about string manipulation. You see I've been given a simple exercise that involves asking the user to input a number between 1,000 and 999,999 and displaying the result. Simple enough, but the caveat is that if the user keys in the comma, say 24,000 instead of 24000 for example, the program is not to display the comma. I don't see how to do this without an 'if' statement. The book says the 'if' is not necessary but does offer this hint: "Read the input as a string. Measure the length of the string. Suppose it contains n characters. Then extract the substrings consisting of the first n-4 characters and the last three characters."

What good is n-4 going to do if the string's lengths varies?

Here's what I have written thus far:

import java.util.Scanner;
 public class P13
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Please enter a number between 1,000 and 999,999: ");

Compare 2 Strings - Generate New String With Matching Characters

Jul 3, 2014

I'm attempting a small program as I'm teaching myself the ropes. In it, I need to compare one string (the base) to another which is just the base string that's had it's characters shuffled.

Java Code:

String base = "ABCDEFG"
String shuffled = "CDAFBEG" mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

What I need to do is run a loop that shuffles the base string each time, but compares and saves any characters that match in the correct location. For example, if shuffled = "CDAFBEG", then the G would be "locked" in place and the rest of the characters shuffled and looped back to the comparison.

I have all the code I need for shuffling the string, but I'm not sure how I would go about comparing each character and then also locking it in place. I get the basics, I think, of needed to use several variables.

How To Extract Specific Part Of A String In Java

Mar 1, 2014

consider this statement from a jsp file(there are many more statements like this in jsp file..) Statement -

<h:dataGrid something styleclass="styleclass1" something1
onClick="event" something2
<% this is a scriplet tag %>
something3
style="style1">

<h:output text>hello i am text</h:output text>
</h:dataGrid>

What I want is to extract(and store it somewhere) the part from "<" to ">" where:

< - is the one in "<h:dataGrid"
> - is the one in "style1>" and not the('>') one that appears in the end
of "</h:dataGrid>" or "<h:output text>" or "</h:output text>"

Problem is the text b/w && is in multi-line...&& there are scriplet tags in between them.. so i don't know how to extract this particular string.. i tried using using some regular expressions but couldn't find the exact one..

(this was just an example && instead of this "" tag it can be anything like again in this line :

<h:output text>hello i am text</h:output text>

I want to extract the string from "<" till ">" where :

< - is the one in starting of "<h:output text>"
> - is the one in ending of "<h:output text>" and not the one in "</h:output text>"

However the difference b/w this example and the above mentioned one is that this one is not multi-line and doesn't contains any scriptlet tags)....
