How to get an exact string between two characters in java

Question

I have a string variable in Java with the value below:

String str = "web > data > list > new_list.html";

I want my final string like so:

String str = "new_list.html";

I have tried like this:

final Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("[\\>.]");
final String[] result = pattern.split(str);

But it is returning data > list > new_list.html

How can i get exact substring new_list.html?

Does this help ? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12595019/how-to-get-a-string-between-two-characters/18096365#18096365 — Heniam, May 07 '20 at 03:35

String s =  "web > data > list > new_list.html";

String newList = s.substring(s.lastIndexOf("> ") + 2);

Try this:

String str = "web > data > list > new_list.html";
str = str.substring(20);
