how to remove all characters before a certain character from a string in java

To remove all characters before a certain character from a string in Java, you can use the substring method of the String class. The substring method returns a new string that is a substring of the original string, starting from a specified index and extending to the end of the string.

Here is an example of how you can use the substring method to remove all characters before a certain character from a string in Java:

String originalString = "Hello, World!";
int index = originalString.indexOf(",");
String modifiedString = originalString.substring(index + 1);

System.out.println(modifiedString);  // Outputs " World!"

In this example, the indexOf method is used to find the index of the first occurrence of the ',' character in the originalString string. The substring method is then used to extract the characters from the index + 1 position to the end of the string. The resulting modifiedString string will contain all characters after the ',' character.

You can use similar logic to remove all characters before any other character, by specifying the character and its index in the substring method. You can also use the replace method or regular expressions to remove specific characters or patterns from a string.
