There are many good answers  but I would use StringUtils from commons-lang  I find StringUtils substringBefore   more readable than the alternatives   String result   StringUtils substringBefore  34 1 -118 33 n lt  --ABCDEFG-- gt      n

Assuming you just want everything before  n  or any other literal string char   you should use indexOf   with substring     result   result substring 0  result indexOf   n       If you want to extract the portion before a certain regular expression  you can use split     result   result split regex  2  0       String result    34 1 -118 33 n lt  --ABCDEFG-- gt     System out println result substring 0  result indexOf   n      System out println result split   n   2  0       34 1 -118 33 34 1 -118 33    Obviously  n isn t a meaningful regular expression  I just used it to demonstrate that the second approach also works
