Hello @JoaoRocha, and welcome on this forum.

Could you extract a self-contained reproducer from the file making the analysis fail?

Without an example of code, it’s going to be hard to guess the root cause of the issue. If you can not extract a simple case, you can still send me the file using private messages.

Regards,
Michael

Since the string stores an array of characters, just like arrays the position of each character is represented by an index (starting from 0). If you try to access the character of a String at the index is either negative or greater than the size of the string, a StringIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown. For some methods such as the java substring, charAt method, this exception also is thrown when the index is equal to the size of the string.

How to solve the StringIndexOutOfBoundsException

Check the length of the string before using substring()
Exception handling using try…catch.

Hello,

This topic is 2 years old and the content is probably outdated. If you face a similar issue, please open a new thread with additional explanation and ideally with a self-contained reproducer.

Thanks.
