Replace and insert

How can i search for a string and replace with the another value.

 

I have requirement of some like this 

 

"-------------- Start String -------

                                             Actual string

 

-----End String --------"

 

Basically i need to pass only "Actual string" and need to ignore the rest of "------ Start String " "----- Stop String-----"

 

Can any one pls help me in this.

 

 i have tried with 

def a = 

                     "-------------- Start String -------

                                             Actual string

 

                        -----End String --------"

a.replace("Start String", "").

But its not actually not working.

 

Can any one pls help me in this. 

 

Thanks in advance.

      Try something like the snippet below. If you use ''' (three single quotes) instead of " (one double quote) to denote a string, it'll take any/all special formatting of the string. Then, when you use replace, you have to set something equal to the result of the .replace() function.

       

      def a = '''-------------- Start String -------

                                             Actual string

 

                        -----End String --------'''

a = a.replace("Start String", "");

log.info(a);
