Yeah. I know... I suck and I should 'learn how to google'...
I need help edit strings.

I have a string that is lastname,firstname

What command is used to delete everything up to the comma?
How do I delete everything before the comma?

All suggestions welcome..

String name = "firstName,LastName";

name = name.substring(name.indexOf(',')+1, name.length()));

I would do:

String newString = oldString.substring(oldString.indexOf(','));

There might be a better way, but that will return a new string of
everything up to and not including the ','

My bad.
