How can I trim characters in Java?
e.g.
String j = “\joe\jill\”.Trim(new char[] {“\”});
j should be
"joe\jill"
String j = “jack\joe\jill\”.Trim("jack");
j should be
"\joe\jill\"
etc

Apache Commons has a great StringUtils class (org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils). In StringUtils there is a strip(String, String) method that will do what you want.
I highly recommend using Apache Commons anyway, especially the Collections and Lang libraries.
