How to check if a word is present in a sentence using Java? [duplicate]

Answer 1

Since you want to search a word there are three cases:

1. word at start of sentence means no space at start but space at end.
2. word between the sentence space at both ends.
3. word at end only space at end.

To cover all the three cases, one possible solution is:

String str = "I am a JAVA programmer";
String[] splited = str.split("\\b+"); //split on word boundries
Arrays.asList(splited).contains("ram"); //search array for word

Here is working Demo
