How do I delete specific characters from a particular String in Java?

Question

For example I\'m extracting a text String from a text file and I need those words to form an array. However, when I do all that some words end with comma (,) or a full stop (.)

Answer 1

To remove the last character do as Mark Byers said

s = s.substring(0, s.length() - 1);

Additionally, another way to remove the characters you don't want would be to use the .replace(oldCharacter, newCharacter) method.

as in:

s = s.replace(",","");

and

s = s.replace(".","");
