Get the index of the first occurrence of a separator in Java

We have the following string with two separators.

String str = "Tom-Hank-s";

We want the index of the first occurrence of the separator.

For that, you need to get the index of the separator using indexOf()

String separator ="-"; int sepPos = str.indexOf(separator);

The following is an example.

Example

 Live Demo

public class Demo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       String str = "Tom-Hank-s";       String separator ="-";       System.out.println("String: "+str);       int sepPos = str.indexOf(separator);       System.out.println("Separator's first occurrence: "+sepPos);    } }

Output

String: Tom-Hank-s Separator's first occurrence: 3
