Android Replace Strings

Question

How do you replace strings when you retrieve a data from an activity ? I cant seems to find it google. Maybe my question is too simple. Please see the below codes.

Intent in = getIntent();
textToPass = in.getStringExtra("textToPass");

textToPass is actually a string eg. "ExampleText.txt"

How do you remove the .txt to make it look like "ExampleText"

I might be somewhere near, but I still couldnt figure out

String exampletext = textToPass.getText().toString().replace(".txt","");

Here textToPass is string so you can directly apply replace method on it .

textToPass.replace(".txt","");

Intent in = getIntent();
String textToPass = in.getStringExtra("textToPass");
String[] exampletext = textToPass.split("//.");

Then use exampletext[0] it must give your expectation result
