Small annoying problem - illegal start of expression

My Problem: When I enter this piece of script in jcreator, it says illegal start of expression for (public String subString). Is there another way to enter a substring?

public String subString;
        int beginIndex;
        int endIndex;

Let me Clear that you want to only extract substring from any string then Follwing code can help you :

String name="Eagle Eye";

String s1=name.subString(2,5);

Output: "gle Ey"

Here, 2 stands for Starting position and 5 for Length of substring.

If you mean that you wrote this inside a method, then you must remove the public keyword. Visibility is assigned to class members, not local variables.
