How to remove all String text before equals ('=') sign Java

Question

I\'d like to parse a string so I can build an XML document.

I have:

String value = \"path=/Some/Xpath/Here\";

I\'ve parsed it this way

if you are looking into performance you should avoid usage of split since it uses regular-expressions which is a bit oversized for such a simple problem. if you just want to remove "path=" and you are sure that your string always starts that way you could go with the following:

String s = "path=/Some/Xpath/Here";
String prefix = "path=";
String result = s.substring(prefix.length);
