Hi Guys
From the databse I am getting four columns. One of the colums is of type CLOB. I am converting this data to a string. Now this String text has lot of nodes, now what I need is to show only the values of between <Description locale="en_US" type="admin"> and </Description>.
Would anyone know how I can use substring to display only description value. I have pasted a sample of how the Column data will be and also the jstl code of how I show the values.
I would reallly appreciate any help regarding this
<c:forEach var="elements" items="${reportResult}">
<tr>
<c:forTokens items="${elements}" delims="," var="current" varStatus="sts">
<c:if test ="${sts.count==1}">
<td width = "50px" align="left" class="alt-color" >
<c:out value="${current}" />
</c:if>
.....
<c:if test ="${sts.count==5}">
<td width = "290px" align="left" class="alt-color" >
<c:out value="${current}" />
</c:if>
</c:forTokens>

Sorry, previous post difficult to read.
String searchFor = "<Description locale=\"en_US\" type=\"admin\">";
String xml = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><Promo
int whereFound = xml.indexOf(searchFor);
String myDesc = searchFor + " not found!";
if(whereFound > -1) {
whereFound += searchFor.length();
myDesc = xml.substring(whereFound, xml.indexOf("</Description
}
System.out.println("What I Found = " + myDesc);
Hi ForceRs
The code which you pasted seems like to be in a scriptlet. Now what i needed is use the code inside jstl.
Because i will be getting the value like this
<c:if test ="${sts.count==5}">
<td width = "290px" align="left" class="alt-color" >
<c:out value="${current}" />
</c:if>
Is there a way I can use jstl to do what you wrote before
Thanks for all your help
You can use jstl functions.
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/j
It has all the necessary methods for doing substring, split etc.
