How can I return a href within a string, I can access the start position but not sure how to get last position : Here is what I have so far : String str = "sadf ad fas dfa http:\\www.google.com sdfa sadf as dfas"; int index = str.indexOf("http"); String href = str.substring(index , ???); What should the end index be ? Note, this is targeted at j2me & I need to minimise download footprint so I cannot use regular expressions or third party regular expressions libraries.
