Regarding usage of split function

If you can not or do not want to answer the questions, dont interrupt. I dont need any advice for hiring someone to solve my problem.

This forum is for helping other people who are naive to the language or are stuck or not brilliant/expert like other people in this domain, so please refrain from writing such answers.

Thanks.

You are being rude to ask for a quick response to people who post answers on a voluntary basis. If you want such kind of service, pay for it!

And I will post whatever I like in your thread, just as much as you can post your demands here.

You didn't describe the criteria for retaining A(s). How could one help you then?String input = "A(s)(age)";

String result1 = "A(s)";

String result2 = input.substring(0, 4);

String result3 = input.replaceAll("\\([^s]+\\)", "");

String result4 = input.split("\\(age\\)")[0];

...

And you know my suggestions are just nonsense, don't you?

You mean you need to extract the starting substring up to and including the first sequence that lays between parenthesis ? I would then suggest:input.substring(0, input.indexOf(')', input.indexOf('(')) + 1)
