file names

assignment: read text file, use substring

this is a assignment program

read a list of values from a text file

use length function to calculate the size of a file name

use substring to select some letters from a text value

program requirement

read the file values into an array

display all the array values in full as well as the length of each string

display the end section of all array values

display the start of some array values which match a target value

substring: start/end, using if()

sometime substring is used to select characters at the end of the string

the position at the end of a string depends on how long the string is, so the length function helps

select characters at start / end of a string: use the length of the string to help select the last character

start always begins at position 0, the length of the first string is 9, the second 12 and the third 11

end is always at the position given by the length of the string, use this for the second parameter

count back from the end for a substring at the end of a string to calculate the first parameter, using (-2) gives the last two characters

substring can be used with an if condition and the .equals function

Use substring with an if() conditional construct to decide option based on substring value
