contains & indexOf not working with alphanumeric string

Question

I am trying to get a string between two strings but contains & indexOf method not working.

Please help me out if someone had the same issue.

Main String = [)>061PKDU 127 161/3R4C22PDUW 30 016D20110714STU8X195955

I am trying to find string 16D but contains method giving me false & indexOf always returning -1

Please let me know if am doing anything wrong otherwise your help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Perhaps you would like to post a [mcve] instead of a screenshot. — khelwood, Apr 04 '19 at 10:48
@khelwood I have provided everything... even main string & string as well which i want. — Dharmbir Singh, Apr 04 '19 at 10:52
@DharmbirSingh I see `data = data.toLowerCase();` which may explain that issue even if it is commented out in your screenshot you might forgeted to undo that lowercase stuff elsewhere? — Eritrean, Apr 04 '19 at 11:06
@Eritrean I just tried with lower case as well but its not working, thats why i commented it. — Dharmbir Singh, Apr 04 '19 at 11:08
@DharmbirSingh I copy pasted your string and both `contains` and `indexOf` are working fine for me. You may want to `Clean Project` to delete all intermediate/cached build files or `Rebuild Project`. — Eritrean, Apr 04 '19 at 11:15
@Eritrean Let me try your suggestion, FYI i tried same code in another class its working fine but i don't know why its not working in current class. — Dharmbir Singh, Apr 04 '19 at 11:17

Finally i got solution,

Main String = [)>061PKDU 127 161/3R4C22PDUW 30 016D20110714STU8X195955

This string showing me length 64 even character is 57, It's containing with \u00D character which is not visible.

So the original string is [)>061\u00DPKDU 127 161/3R4C22\u00DPDUW 30 01\u00D6D20110714\u00DSTU8X195955

So i have replaced \u00D with "" now its working perfect.

Thanks guys for your help.
