I believe the easiest solution for finding the Nth occurrence of a String is to use <a href="http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/javadocs/api-2.6/org/apache/commons/lang/StringUtils.html#ordinalIndexOf%28java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String,%20int%29">StringUtils.ordinalIndexOf()</a> from Apache Commons.

Example:

<pre><code>StringUtils.ordinalIndexOf("aabaabaa", "b", 2) == 5
</code></pre>

Two simple options occur:

<ul>
<li>Use <code>charAt()</code> repeatedly</li>
<li>Use <code>indexOf()</code> repeatedly</li>
</ul>

For example:

<pre><code>public static int nthIndexOf(String text, char needle, int n)
{
 for (int i = 0; i &lt; text.length(); i++)
 {
 if (text.charAt(i) == needle)
 {
 n--;
 if (n == 0)
 {
 return i;
 }
 }
 }
 return -1;
}
</code></pre>

That may well not perform as well as using <code>indexOf</code> repeatedly, but it's possibly simpler to get right.

You can try something like this:

<pre><code>import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;

public class Main {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 System.out.println(from3rd("/folder1/folder2/folder3/"));
 }

 private static Pattern p = Pattern.compile("(/[^/]*){2}/([^/]*)");

 public static String from3rd(String in) {
 Matcher m = p.matcher(in);

 if (m.matches())
 return m.group(2);
 else
 return null;
 }
}
</code></pre>

Note that I did some assumptions in the regex:

<ul>
<li>the input path is absolute (i.e. starts with "/");</li>
<li>you do not need the 3rd "/" in the result.</li>
</ul>

<hr>

As requested in a comment, I'll try to explain the regex: <code>(/[^/]*){2}/([^/]*)</code>

<img src="https://www.debuggex.com/i/2sAKhlPpasMkBR31.png" alt="Regular expression visualization">

<ul>
<li><code>/[^/]*</code> is a <code>/</code> followed by <code>[^/]*</code> (any number of characters that are not a <code>/</code>),</li>
<li><code>(/[^/]*)</code> groups the previous expression in a single entity. This is the <code>1</code>st group of the expression,</li>
<li><code>(/[^/]*){2}</code> means that the group must match extactly <code>{2}</code> times,</li>
<li><code>[^/]*</code> is again any number of characters that are not a <code>/</code>,</li>
<li><code>([^/]*)</code> groups the previos expression in a single entity. This is the <code>2</code>nd group of the expression.</li>
</ul>

This way you have only to get the substring that matches the 2nd group: <code>return m.group(2);</code>

The code returns the nth occurrence positions substring aka field width. Example. if string "Stack overflow in low melow" is the string to search 2nd occurance of token "low", you will agree with me that it 2nd occurance is at subtring "18 and 21". indexOfOccurance("Stack overflow in low melow", low, 2) returns 18 and 21 in a string.

<pre><code>class Example{
 public Example(){

 int nthCount = 0;
 for (int shift = 0,count = 0; count &lt; string.length() - token.length() + 2; count++, shift++, lengthOfToken++)
 if (string.substring(shift, lengthOfToken).equalsIgnoreCase(token)) { 
 // keeps count of nthOccurance
 nthCount++; 
 if (nthCount == nthOccurance){
 //checks if nthCount == nthOccurance. If true, then breaks 
 return String.valueOf(shift)+ " " +String.valueOf(lengthOfToken); 
 } 
 }
 return "-1";
 }

It looks like the string you want to substring is a file path. Can't you just split by <code>/</code> and then consume the array entries from the point of interest onward? For example,
<pre><code>String folders = &quot;/folder1/folder2/folder3/&quot;.split('/');
StringBuilder subStringed = new StringBuilder('/');
for (int i = 2; i &lt; folders.length; i++) {
 subStringed.append(folders[i]).append('/').;

Similar to a question posted <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2571716/find-nth-occurrence-of-a-character-in-a-string" title="Find Nth occurrence of a character in a string">here</a>, am looking
for a solution in Java.

That is, how to find the index of nth occurrence of a character/string from a string?

Example: "/folder1/folder2/folder3/". 
In this case, if I ask for 3rd occurrence of slash (/), it appears before folder3, and I expect to return this index position. My actual intention is to substring it from nth occurrence of a character.

Is there any convenient/ready-to-use method available in Java API or do we need to write a small logic on our own to solve this?

Also, 

<ol>
<li>I quickly searched whether any method is supported for this purpose at Apache Commons Lang's <a href="http://commons.apache.org/lang/api/org/apache/commons/lang3/StringUtils.html" rel="noreferrer" title="org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils">StringUtils</a>, but I don't find any.</li>
<li>Can regular expressions help in this regard?</li>
</ol>

How to find nth occurrence of character in a string?

Java

类似于上发布的一个问题，我正在寻找Java的解决方案。也就是说，如何从字符串中找到第n次出现的字符串的索引？示例："/folder1/folder2/folder3/".在本例中，如果我请求第三次出现斜杠(/)，它会出现在folder3之前，并且我希望返回这个索引位置。我的实际意图是从第n个出现的字符中子串它。Java API中有没有什么方便易用的方法，或者我们需要自己写一个小逻辑来解决这个问题？
