Java String trim is not removing a whitespace character for me.
String rank = (some method);
System.out.println("(" + rank + ")");
The output is (1 )
. Notice the space to the right of the 1.
I have to remove the trailing space from the string rank
but neither rank.trim()
nor rank.replace(" ","")
removes it.
The string rank
just remains the same either way.
Edit: Full Code::
Document doc = Jsoup.connect("http://www.4icu.org/ca/").timeout(1000000).get();
Element table = doc.select("table").get(7);
Elements rows = table.select("tr");
for (Element row: rows) {
String rank = row.select("span").first().text().trim();
System.out.println("("+rank+")");
}
Why can't I remove that space?
Answer
The source code of that website shows the special html character
. Try searching or replacing the following in your java String: \u00A0
.
That's a non-breakable space. See: I have a string with "\u00a0", and I need to replace it with "" str_replace fails
rank = rank.replaceAll("\u00A0", "");
should work. Maybe add a double \\
instead of the \
.
