Strip decimal point from string

Question

Is there an easy solution to strip a decimal without the whole charAt stringbuffer thing.
I try this
String test = "1.234";
String stripped = test.replace('.','/');
and i get "1/234" as result. But I dont want "/". I want blank.
This doesnt compile
String stripped = test.replace('.','');

Answer 1

If you want blank (1 234) then
String stripped = test.replace('.',' ');
will work. If you want to just remove the decimal point (1234) then
test = "1.234";
String[] prts = test.split("\\.");
System.out.println(">>>" + prts.length + "<<<<");
if (prts.length > 1) { test = prts[0] + prts[1]; }
else { test = prts[0]; }
System.out.println(">>>" + test + "<<<<");
