Splitting a string at a defined sign - especially "("

Question

I have a little problem with splitting a String

String anl_gewerk = "Text Text Text (KG 412/2)"
String[] parts = anl_gewerk.split("[(]");
anl_gewerk = parts[1];
anl_gewerk = anl_gewerk.replaceAll("\\(","").replaceAll("\\)","");
anl_gewerk = anl_gewerk.replace("KG","");

I have the aforementioned string, and I'm searching for "412/2".
Therefore, I want to split the String into two substrings searching for "(".
Finally I want to grab this String deleting "(", "KG", " " and ")".

When I select anl_gewerk = parts[0]; it works but I get the wrong part, when I change into parts[1] the App crashes.

Please help me

Next step is , you need to split that newly string using #space , " " . — Radhey, Jun 15 '17 at 11:28
try this: String anl_gewerk = "Text Text Text (KG 412/2)" String[] parts = anl_gewerk.split("("); String anl_gewerk1 = parts[1]; String[] parts2= anl_gewerk1.split(" "); String anl_gewerk2 = parts2[1]; String[] parts3=anl_gewerk2.split(")"); String finalString=parts3[0]; — Divyesh Patel, Jun 15 '17 at 11:29

This is working fine `String anl_gewerk = "Text Text Text (KG 412/2)"; String[] parts = anl_gewerk.split("[(]"); anl_gewerk = parts[1]; anl_gewerk = anl_gewerk.replaceAll("\\(","").replaceAll("\\)",""); anl_gewerk = anl_gewerk.replace("KG","").trim();` — Jinesh Francis, Jun 15 '17 at 11:37

Try to change your code by this:

    String anl_gewerk = "Text Text Text (KG 412/2)";
    String[] parts = anl_gewerk.split("[(]");
    anl_gewerk = parts[1];
    String sub[] = anl_gewerk.split(" ");
    String test = sub[1];
    String result = test.replace(")","");// it gives your result 412/2
