Splitting a string... any suggestions, selecting the 11th character

Question

I have a string... e.g. AAR12345678
now what i want to do is split the string and select number "8", the 11th character.... any suggestions?

Answer 1

If you know you want the 11th character, then just
use String.charAt(10) to get it.woh... i thing u cracked it....
so would i do:
String studentid = RS.getString("studentid");
String split_studentid = studentid.charAt(10);
Close, but not quite. charAt returns a char, not a String.
char theOneIWant = studentid.charAt(10);
