Searching for the nth occurrence of a substring in a string

I need to search for the 63rd occurrence of a substring <i4> and replace it with <string>. Is there an easy way to do this?
Edited by: sarcasteak on Jun 16, 2009 11:52 AM

nevermind I got it, if anyone was curious
int z = 0;
 while(z<63)
 index = index2+3;
 index2 = result.indexOf("<param>", index);
 resultTest = result.substring(index2);
 //System.out.println(index2 + " :" + resultTest );
 z++;
 String originalSubstring = (result.substring(index2);
 String modifiedSubstring = "";
 modifiedSubstring = originalSubstring.replaceFirst("<i4>","<string>" );
 modifiedSubstring = modifiedSubstring.replaceFirst("</i4>","</string>" );
 String fixedString= result.replace(originalSubstring, modifiedSubstring);
 System.out.println(fixedString);Edited by: sarcasteak on Jun 16, 2009 12:32 PM

Find the nth occurrence of a string in a string

Hi,
I'm wondering if there is a method like indexOf, but finds the nth occurrence of a string
public static int occurrence(java.lang.String str,
                             java.lang.String toFind,
                             int occurrence)Cheers

I put the global variable 'count' now in the method occurence
public static int occurence(String str, String toFind, int occurence){
        int origLength = str.length();
        int count = 0;
        while(str.length()>0){
            str = contains(str, toFind, count);
               if(count == occurence){
                int length = str.length();;
                int actualPos = origLength-(length+1);
                return actualPos;
               count++;
        return -1;
public static String contains(String str, String toFind, int count){
        int occurence = str.indexOf(toFind);
        if(occurence != -1 ){
             count = count+1;
            return str.substring(occurence+1,str.length());
        }else{
            return "";
}The output is 1 position to high.
I still don't get which part of the code to replace with this pseudo code: s'.indexOf('toFind', 'index'+1)
Sorry for being dimwitted!
Thanks

Searching for the number in the bigint value...

HI!
Could anybody help me with the searching for the number in the bigint value. ex:
9567423742840 i need to get only the 2nd and 3rd number (56) from this value...
^^
and the same thing with symbols in the strings..
is there any special function in jsp available for that?
thanks

try looking into the String class. There should be a substring or similar function that lets u get only a part of another string. You can convert the int into a string by doing something like new Integer(yourIntValue).toString() and then using that string for your substring function. There may be other ways to do it too, but this is the one I remember off the top of my head.
Hope it helps

Search for the last delimiter in a string

Hi all,
My requirement is whenever my length of the string reach 50 characters, the program will search for the last comma delimiter and break line into 2 lines.
The string format is like this: -
Input: -
1234567890123456789012345678901234567890,1234567890
Expected output: -
1234567890123456789012345678901234567890,
1234567890
Input: -
1234567890,1234567890,1234567890,1234567890,1234567890
Expected output: -
1234567890,1234567890,1234567890,1234567890,
1234567890
The difficult part for me is how to search for the last comma delimiter when it reached 50 characters?
IF strlen(gv_fetxt) > 50.
.... " do something to break the line into two lines.
ENDIF.
Please help and guide me.
Thanks in advance.

I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extrem. How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptops hard drive??

I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extreme (2 TB drive plugged into the USB port). I see the drive on my laptop and I can add and delete files no problem. How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptop's hard drive? I don't have enough space to do that.

How did you move the music to the external drive? What exactly is on the drive? The entire iTunes folder or only music? If it is the entire iTunes folder you can do the option+start suggestion earlier. If you copied only music and did so by dragging it there then you need to delete it again and consolidate/organize it there instead so iTunes tracks the move. iTunes 12 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507

I just made the switch to mac. I am have installed all the new PS6 CC and bridge and I am now trying to add some presets to my ACR but when I search for the folder to place them it is not there. From what I researched it says it should be under camera library/application support/adobe/camera raw/settings but I can only get to library/application support/adobe/ and then there are two different camera raw options I have checked both and there are not settings folder. If anyone can help me please thanks

Apple most likely has the same poor taste that Microsoft does when it come to defaults. Microsoft likes to hide things like settings, preset, folders etc from normal users think the dumb or something else. If Apple also hide things you will have to make some system setting changes that will allow Finder to do it job and find it for you.

You have already seen that you cannot load the new iTunes into your 10.5.8, so as Neil says, you need Snow Leopard (current cost £14). And you'll probably need to update the disc you buy via the combo update, though that is free.
As far as the new iTunes is concerned, there's been a certain amount of grumbling so you may want to study the forums before you update. The main problem has been with album artwork which does not transfer easily.

Sometimes this happens because the app won't run on the iOS version of the device you are trying to install it to. Go to the app store and make sure it will run on iOS 3.1.3 (many only run on iOS 4 or higher).

Search for shared library is impossible, as far as I know. Searches supported - are local and internet.

BUG: Searching for the word "united" in Contacts returns far too many results

To recreate this bug:
1. I open the Contacts App on my iPhone 5 running iOS 6.0.1.
2. In the search field within the app, I search for the word "united." (For example, if I am trying to located the address book card for United Airlines).
3. Instead of showing me just the results of companies/people that have the word "united" in their name or notes field, the app returns almost every single one of my contacts as a search result, EVEN THOUGH THESE PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE THE WORD "UNITED" IN THEIR NAME, DESCRIPTION, OR NOTES FIELD.
I think this might be happening because I have used the iOS feature of connecting my Contact App with Facebook. Because of this, many of my contacts have the word "unified contact info" in their description. Although this doesn't entirely explain why searching for the word "united" would show "unified contact info" contacts, the Facebook/Contacts App connection may have something to do with this bug.
Regardless, if I search for the word "united" on my iPhone, the Contact App still returns almost every single contact as a search result, even though the word "united" cannot be found within those contacts.

I think it is because the system adds "United States of America" to every address by default.
You need to search using different parameters, for example, "Airlines".
