Your task looks like a simple search in string. Have a look into the developer's reference. — Alexander Dunaev, Feb 24 '16 at 07:26

Try to use substring like this:

    String myString = "GDSHKG.db";
    String newString = myString.substring(0, myString.indexOf("."));
     System.out.print(newString);

Output:

  GDSHKG
