I have a string example = " Can somebody provide an algorithm sample code in your reply ",

after token and do some i want on string example i have arraylist like :

ArrayList <token > arl = " "Can somebody provide ", "code in your ", "somebody provide an algorith", " in your reply" )

"Can somebody provide ", i know position start and end in string test : star = 1 end = 3 " code in your ", i know position stat = 7 end = 10, "somebody provide an algorith", i know position stat = 7 end = 10, "in your reply" i know position stat = 11 end = 14,

we can see,some element in arl overlaping :"Can somebody provide "," code in your ","somebody provide an algorith".

The problem here is how can i merge overlaping element to recived arraylist like

ArrayList result ="" Can somebody provide an algorithm sample code","" in your reply"";

Here my code : but it only merge fist elecment if check is overloaping

public ArrayList<TextChunks> finalTextChunks(ArrayList<TextChunks> textchunkswithkeyword) {
        ArrayList<TextChunks > result = (ArrayList<TextChunks>) textchunkswithkeyword.clone();
            //System.out.print(result.size());
            int j;
            for(int i=0;i< result.size() ;i++) {
                int index = i;
                if(i+1>=result.size()){
                    break;
                }
                j=i+1;
                if(result.get(i).checkOverlapingTwoTextchunks(result.get(j))== true) {
                    TextChunks temp = new TextChunks();
                    temp = handleOverlaping(textchunkswithkeyword.get(i),textchunkswithkeyword.get(j),resultSearchEngine);
                    result.set(i, temp);
                    result.remove(j);
                    i = index;
                    continue;
            }
        }
        return result;  
    }
