How To Use Character " In indexOf() Android Java

Question

How to use a character like this " in a context like this.

String s;

answer = s.substring(s.indexOf("Start:"), s.indexOf("""));

When I use a word like ("stop"); or something (if the word stop is in the string!) it works perfect. But I want you read from ("Start:"), till the character ".

How can I set the character in the indexOf?

Answer 1

Search

answer = s.substring(s.indexOf("Start:"), s.indexOf("\""));

in place of

answer = s.substring(s.indexOf("Start:"), s.indexOf("""));

\ can be used to escape quotations or apostrophe.

Answer 2

Use \ to escape the double quote.

For instance:

s.indexOf("\"");

Answer 3

try this \ for escaping double quote

s.indexOf("\"");
