Thread: Java String value increment

Java-code --
String value = 00008, increment something like 00008 to 00009.
If anyone can help me here I'd greatly appreciate it, thanks!

Are you sure you really want to increment a String? The reason I ask is that if you are continually wanting to increment an integer value associated with a String it might make more sense to have an int variable and increment that.

If you really have a String and want to produce another string associated with the incremented value: use Integer.parseInt() to obtain the integer value, increment that value, and finally produce the new String with String.format().

The last step will involve something like String.format("%05d",val) but check the documentation linked to for details about the format string.

Code is something like..
String s = "00008";
int i =Integer.parseInt(s);
System.out.println("i.."+i); // 8
String s1 = String.format("%05d",i);
System.out.println("s1......."+s1); // 00008

How to increment results = s1+1 ; ?

String.format("%05d",i);
--->
String.format("%05d", i + 1);

... ?

thanks..
