In this post, we will see how to remove non ascii character from a string in java.
Sometimes, you get non-ascii characters in String and you need to remove them. We will use regular expressions to do it.
Java program to remove non-ascii characters:
package org.arpit.java2blog;
public class StringRemoveASCIIMain {
public static void main(String a[]){
String str = "jå∫∆avµa2bl√øog";
System.out.println("Before removing non ASCII characters:");
System.out.println(str);
System.out.println("------------------------------------");
// Using regular expressions to remove non ascii characters
str = str.replaceAll("[^\p{ASCII}]", "");
System.out.println("After removing non ASCII characters:");
System.out.println(str);
}
}
When you run above program, you will get below output:
Before removing non ASCII characters: jå∫∆avµa2bl√øog ------------------------------------ After removing non ASCII characters: java2blog
