lol, i meant the harder way I guess not the best. Is there a way of telling where a period should be by using some type of regular expression or string method?
Also, is this the best way for capitalizing the first Character in a string?
String s = "im a non capitalized sentence!";
char c;
c = s.charAt(0);
Character.toUpperCase(c)
s = s.replaceFirst(s.charAt(0),c)
One more question, Say I have like 5 lines of text in a string
String s = "5 lines of text(pretend)"
and I want to reset this every time like s = ""
should I call System.gc() after I set s to another set of text(5 lines)?
String literals aren't affected by garbage collection, and anyway calling System.gc() isn't guaranteed to do anything
The only reason to use it is to hint the JVM that now would be a nice time to clear up memory before you start a resource intensive operation (either CPU or RAM), but otherwise it's pretty useless.

A more efficient way to capitalise your first character would be to turn your String into a char array, capitalise element 0 in that, and then turn it back into a String.
Saves a few string operations.
