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 (.)

You can't modify a String in Java. They are immutable. All you can do is create a new string that is substring of the old string, minus the last character.

In some cases a StringBuffer might help you instead.
