Java - replace last 2 characters in string
0 points
In this article, we would like to show you how to replace last 2 characters in string in Java.
Quick solution:
xxxxxxxxxx1
String text = "ABC";2
String replacement = "12";3
String result = text.substring(0, text.length() - 2) + replacement;4
5
System.out.println(result); // A12
In this example, we use substring() method to remove last 2 characters from the text string, then we add the replacement at their place.
xxxxxxxxxx1
public class Example {2
3
public static void main(String[] args) {4
String text = "ABC";5
String replacement = "12";6
String result = text.substring(0, text.length() - 2) + replacement;7
8
System.out.println("Original string: " + text); // ABC9
System.out.println("Modified string: " + result); // A1210
}11
}Output:
xxxxxxxxxx1
Original string: ABC2
Modified string: A12Note:
The
replacementlength doesn't have to be equal to 2. You can remove the last 2 characters from the end of the string and add any number of characters instead.
