Answer 2

// get the index of last new line character
int startIndex = str.lastIndexOf("\n");

String result = null;

// see if its valid index then just substring it to the end from that

if(startIndex!=-1 && startIndex!= str.length()){
  str.subString(startIndex+1);
}

Answer 3

let say your string is like this

String s = "aaaaaaaaaaaaa \n bbbbbbbbbbbbbbb \n cccccccccccccccccc \nddddddddddddddddddd";

Now you can split it using

    String[] arr = s.split("\n");
    if (arr != null) {
        // get last line using : arr[arr.length - 1]
        System.out.println("Last    =====     " + arr[arr.length - 1]);
    }

Answer 5

String[] lines = fileContents.split("\n"); String lastLine = lines[lines.length - 1];

this lastline variable would contain last line.

Answer 6

Example (slow solution)

String line = null;
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(myString);
while (scanner.hasNextLine()) {
  line = scanner.nextLine();
}

After this line is your last line.
