I have a String like this:

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/record-level-of-poorer-teens-aiming-for-a-degree-m6q6bfbq3

And I know that I want to remove this part:

    Please show the expected result. I get the impression that some of the answers misunderstood the goal. Also please show what you tried yourself and explain how it failed. – Yunnosch Jul 14 '22 at 06:18

Use String::replace

String oldString = "https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/record-level-of-poorer-teens-aiming-for-a-degree-m6q6bfbq3";

String newString = oldString.replace ("https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/", "");

If we phrase the requirement as "remove everything after the last '/'", you can use lastIndexof to find its position and then substring to cut it:

String result = myString.substring(0, myString.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);

Another solution using a regexp. It could be useful if you need to deal with the case where the input string doesn't start with the known string.

private static final Pattern RE = Pattern.compile("https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/(.*)");

...

Matcher matcher = RE.matcher(inputString);
if (matcher.matches()) {
    return matcher.group(1);
} else {
    return inputString; // or null, or whatever
}

We can also use substring

String url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/record-level-of-poorer-teens-aiming-for-a-degree-m6q6bfbq3; url.substring(36,url.length);
