Hi
I am trying to remove the first and last charater of each element of string list so I can pass the string inside xpath since I am getting data from listed table it always add [] to the name example: [Selenium] 

Since I have string list I was able to remove the first "[" but I can't use lenght -1 to remove the last "]"

    public void iAddAffiliatesWithName( DataTable dataTable) {

        SimpleAction.runs(() -> {
            List<String> Orgs = dataTable.asList(String.class);

            String Org1 = StringUtils.substring(String.valueOf(Orgs), 1, 11); //I need to be able to use lenght instead 11 

            System.out.println(">>>>>This is org1 >>: " + Org1);
            // String urlResdesk = GlobalProperties.INSTANCE.getRegionProperty(PKEnvVariable.URL_RESDESK.getPropertyName());
              String urlResdesk = ActionType.GetValueFromUrl.getWebDriver().getCurrentUrl();

            System.out.println(">>>>>: " + urlResdesk);
            if (urlResdesk.contains("hotel")){
            for(int i=0;i<Orgs.size();i++) {
                Input.run(Passkey_Events.PK_Hotel_PlannersAndAffiliates.lblClickHere);
                Input.run(Passkey_Events.PK_Hotel_PlannersAndAffiliates.btnAffiliateLookup);
                ActionType.SwitchTo.run(String.valueOf("1"));
                Input.run(Passkey_Events.PK_Hotel_PlannersAndAffiliates.txtAffiliatesByName, Orgs.get(i));

                Input.run(Passkey_Events.PK_Hotel_PlannersAndAffiliates.btnSearchAfiliattes);
                Input.run(Passkey_Events.PK_Hotel_PlannersAndAffiliates.chkAffiliates);
                Input.run(Passkey_Events.PK_Hotel_PlannersAndAffiliates.btnAddSelectedAffiliates);
                ActionType.SwitchTo.run(String.valueOf("0"));
                System.out.println(">>>> Org is :" + Org1);
//                VerifyExistence.run(By.xpath("(//a[contains(.,'" + Orgs +"')])[1]"));
//                VerifyExistence.run(By.xpath("  (//a[contains(.,'!Eric API')])[1]"));
            }
            } else {
                System.out.println(">>>>> no hotel found");
            }
        });


    }
}

Thanks
