In this article, we will understand with a Java program on how to check whether particular word or letter is present in the invoking String in Java 1.8 version
Already in one of the previous article, we discussed how to check whether particular word/letter is present or not in a String using earlier versions of Java like 5 or 7, etc.
Check whether String contains specific Word:
- contains(CharSequence s) method of String
- Checks whether specified word/letter/sub-string is present in the invoking String or not
- Returns true, if specified word/string is present otherwise false
- Throws java.lang.NullPointerException if specified word/string is null
CheckWordIsPresentInString.java
package in.bench.resources.java8.string.methods;
import java.util.stream.Stream;
public class CheckWordIsPresentInString {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// string
String str = "Welcome to BenchResources.Net weblog";
// 1. check word "BenchRes" is present or not
boolean boolSearch1 = Stream.of(str).anyMatch(s -> s.contains("BenchRes"));
System.out.println("Word \"BenchRes\" present ? = " + boolSearch1);
// 2. check word "tech" is present or not
boolean boolSearch2 = Stream.of(str).anyMatch(s -> s.contains("tech"));
System.out.println("Word \"tech\" present ? = " + boolSearch2 + "\n\n");
// 3. exception scenario for null
boolean boolSearch3 = Stream.of(str).anyMatch(s -> s.contains(null));
System.out.println("null present ? = " + boolSearch3);
}
}
Output:
Word "BenchRes" present ? = true
Word "tech" present ? = false
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke
"java.lang.CharSequence.toString()" because "s" is null
