This post helps you understand how to use the <fn:substringAfter> tag in the JSTL function tags library with code example.

The fn:substringAfter function returns a string after the specified substring.

 

JSTL <fn:substringAfter> Syntax:

${fn:substringAfter(<string>, <substring>)}

 

JSTL <fn:substringAfter> Example:

The following JSP example outputs a string after the substring www.

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
	pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions" prefix="fn"%>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
    <title>fn:substringAfter Demo</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>fn:substringAfter Demo</h1>
    <c:set var="text" value="www.CodeJava.net is great source of information."/>
    <c:set var="website" value="${fn:substringAfter(text,'www.')}" />
    Full Text: <strong><c:out value="${text}"/></strong><br/><br/>
    Text After Substring www. <strong><c:out value="${website}"/></strong><br/><br/>	
  </body>
</html>

 

Output:

JSTL function fn-substringAfter
