I understand that I did a lot of hard coding that can be avoided so if anything can share their thought please go ahead:
private String hideEmailCharacters(String privateEmail){
String emailName = privateEmail.substring(0,privateEmail.indexOf("#"));
StringBuilder stringBuffer = new StringBuilder(emailName);
stringBuffer.replace(emailName.length() / 2,emailName.length(), StringUtils.repeat("*", emailName.length() / 2));
String emailProvider = privateEmail.substring(privateEmail.indexOf("#"));
return stringBuffer + emailProvider;
}
The goal is to cover for example half of the email name or cover everything after the second character with stars ** so the result from abcdv#example.com would be ab***#example.com

String processing is cool but here's a solution with Regular Expression.
(?<=.{2}).(?=[^#]*?#)
Intuition:
Ignore first 2 characters from the characters before #
Ignore # as well.
Replace each character between with *
public class TestCode {
private static String hideEmailCharacters(String privateEmail) {
return privateEmail.replaceAll("(?<=.{2}).(?=[^#]*?#)", "*");
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(hideEmailCharacters("abcdv#example.com"));
System.out.println(hideEmailCharacters("ra0o29ajzsdc242#example.com"));
System.out.println(hideEmailCharacters("x2helloyouthere#example.com"));
System.out.println(hideEmailCharacters("a#foo.com"));
}
}
Output:
ab***#example.com
ra*************#example.com
x2*************#example.com
a#foo.com

This piece of code will do the trick:
StringBuffer email = new StringBuffer(privateEmail)
int startIndex = email.indexOf("#")/2;
int endIndex = email.indexOf("#");
int numOfCharsToHide = endIndex - startIndex;
email.replace(startIndex, endIndex, "*".repeat(numOfCharsToHide));

I want to split a string s into n parts, separated by dashes. This is the function:
public String answer (String s, int n){}
For example, this should happen:
Example test: ('2-4A0r7-4k', 4)
expect 24A0-R74K
Example test: ('2-4A0r7-4k', 3)
expect 24-A0R-74K
I did this but it gives the wrong answer:
String[] arr = s.split("-", k+1);
s = Arrays.toString(arr);
return s;
It splits starting from the end.
public static String split(String str, int n) {
final Function<String, String> reverse = s -> new StringBuilder(s).reverse().toString();
String[] parts = reverse.apply(str.replaceAll("-", "")).split("(?<=\\G.{" + n + "})");
return IntStream.range(0, parts.length).mapToObj(i -> reverse.apply(parts[parts.length - i - 1])).collect(Collectors.joining("-"));
}

Have a scenario to strip the below pattern strings -
abc|hjdj|kleygag|0|0|0|0|
ghys|jkugb|0|0|0
yuubf|kluygb|tyrffv|nutgv|0|0|0|0|0|
Looking for help to get a regex in java to separate these values excluding everything from the first occurence of pipe before 0, the output should look like-
abc|hjdj|kleygag
ghyd|jkugb
yuubf|kluygb|tyrffv|nutgv
Just need regex, which has been answered and been very helpful, would just be very helpful to know just the regex and not the complete code for the reverse pattern as requested in the followup question
Is regex necessary for this? substring() gets you want you want easily.
Update
I saw a comment where you're also wanting a case where the data looks like, "0|0|0|0|abdc|ghyft|rtyu". I've modified my answer to account for that case and a case where the data could be, "0|0|0|0|abdc|ghyft|rtyu|0|0|0|"
Either way:
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
List<String> strings = new ArrayList(){
{
add("abc|hjdj|kleygag|0|0|0|0|");
add("ghys|jkugb|0|0|0");
add("yuubf|kluygb|tyrffv|nutgv|0|0|0|0|0|");
add("0|0|0|0|abdc|ghyft|rtyu");
add("0|0|0|0|abdc|ghyft|rtyu|0|0|0|0|0|");
}
};
// Non Regex
System.out.println("Non Regex");
for (String string : strings) {
int startIndex = -1;
int endIndex = -1;
// Find first non zero character
for (int i = 0; i < string.length(); i++) {
if ('a' <= string.charAt(i) && string.charAt(i) <= 'z') {
startIndex = i;
break;
}
}
// Find first pipe zero |0 after startIndex
endIndex = string.indexOf("|0", startIndex);
// Determine which substring() to use based on the endIndex results
System.out.println(endIndex > -1 ? string.substring(startIndex, endIndex) : string.substring(startIndex));
}
System.out.println("");
// Regex
System.out.println("Regex");
for (String string : strings) {
System.out.println(string.replaceAll("\\|0|0\\||\\|$", ""));
}
}
Results:
Non Regex
abc|hjdj|kleygag
ghys|jkugb
yuubf|kluygb|tyrffv|nutgv
abdc|ghyft|rtyu
abdc|ghyft|rtyu
Regex
abc|hjdj|kleygag
ghys|jkugb
yuubf|kluygb|tyrffv|nutgv
abdc|ghyft|rtyu
abdc|ghyft|rtyu
You can use a regex like this:
\|0|0\||\|$
Java code:
String regex = "\\|0|0\\|\\|$";
System.out.println("abc|hjdj|kleygag|0|0|0|0|".replaceAll(regex, ""));
System.out.println("ghys|jkugb|0|0|0".replaceAll(regex, ""));
System.out.println("yuubf|kluygb|tyrffv|nutgv|0|0|0|0|0|".replaceAll(regex, ""));

I have started learning Java and have some across some difficulties. I'm trying to subtract two strings.
for example, with these strings;"032"&&"100". I want to be able to subtract each number individually so that the answer would be "032".
I have tried using substring, and parsing the two values to ints, but don't know what to do next. I have also tries using a for loop, to go through each arrays of the strings.
I do not expect for anyone to do this for me, but I would love to get some insight,or to tell me that i'm headed in the right direction
thanks
public static String appliquerCoup( String combinaison, String coup ) {
String nouveauCoup="";
if(combinaison!=null&&coup!=null){
for(int i=0;i>combinaison.length();i++){
int a = Integer.parseInt(combinaison.substring(i, i + 1));
int b = Integer.parseInt(coup.substring(i, i + 1));
nouveauCoup=String.valueOf(a-b);
if(a-b<0){
nouveauCoup=0;
}
}
} // main
return nouveauCoup;
}
If I understand you question correctly. you want to subtract each digit individually.
So (0-1), (3-0), (2-0). The following program does this (yields -132):
public static void main(String[] args) {
String A = "032";
String B = "100";
String str = "";
for(int i = 0; i < A.length(); i++)
{
int a = Integer.parseInt(A.substring(i, i + 1));
int b = Integer.parseInt(B.substring(i, i + 1));
int c = a - b;
str += String.valueOf(c < 0 ? 0 : c);
}
System.out.println(str);
}
Essentially, extract the i-th character of each string, convert them to integers, then do the subtraction. Convert the result back to a string and append it to the result string.

Determining distance between reoccurring characters in text [closed]

I am trying to determine the distance between the same letters in a block of text and then store this value.
ex. "the following sentence is my example." for the letter "E" 11,3,3,5,6. and for "one queen? it would be 3,1. Spaces will be omitted.
Sort of like associating the sentence with a number-line and getting the distance between points. I would like to do this in Java.
String (indexOf)
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#indexOf(int,%20int)
Pseudo-code
String text = "...", searchText="E";
int index = 0, arrIndex = 0;
text = text.toLowerCase();
text = text.replace(" ", "");
searchText = searchText.toLowerCase();
int results[] = new int[50];
int prevMatch = text.indexOf(searchText, index);
while(prevMatch != -1) {
if ((index = text.indexOf(searchText, prevMatch+1)) == -1) {
break;
}
results[arrIndex++] = index - prevMatch;
prevMatch = index;
}
I suggest you to use split() method from String class and extract the substrings text length to check the distance. You will need also to trim() the substrings to remove the spaces.

I have this string I got from a table via 'string.split(" ");' the problem I have is one of them should include a period. How would I go about searching for this period. I do know I have to search for it because I code in Lua. Though we used String.find() methods.
What is the way I would remove a period from a string in a String[] table?
Thanks in advance :)
This is for school.
If I understand you correctly, you have a String that you've split by delimiting on a space. You now want to search for a period in the resultant array of Strings.
for(String s : stringArray) {
if (s.contains(".")) {
//do something
}
}
Unfortunately, I'm not that clever with RegExp, but you could...
String s = "This.is.a.test";
while (s.contains(".")) {
s = s.replace(".", "");
}
System.out.println(s);
I'm sure there's a wonderful single line RegExp to do the same thing
Updated based on comments
Because String is not mutable, you will need to reassign it back to the original array
String[] apples = {"one", "two.", "three"};
for (int index = 0; index < apples.length; index++) {
String s = apples[index];
while (s.contains(".")) {
s = s.replace(".", "");
}
apples[index] = s;
}
for (String s : apples) {
System.out.println(s);
}
