Use replace method

String str = "A wolf is eating a sheep.";

str = str.replace("ing","");

or

str = str.replace("eating","eat");

Thanks! Is it possible not to specify the string in the first place and let the removal take place by itself? – Lancer Aug 22 '15 at 03:23
How will the code know what you want to remove ? You will have to specify the removable or replaceable string in the first place!! – Harshit Aug 22 '15 at 03:26
