Somethin strange about ^

I'm trying to eliminate all the ^ in a string by using the replaceAll method.

This is the code...

class Test

{

public static void main(String[] args)

{

String string = "^";

System.out.println(string);

string = string.replaceAll("^","here's one!!");

System.out.println(string);

}

}

The above code compiles fine but when I run it, I dunno... I got a very strange output!! The output I got is-

C:\workarea>javac Test.java

C:\workarea>java Test

^

here's one!!^

^ isn't removed but the replace string (here's one!!) is COMING!!

I tried it with ~(instead of ^) but that's workin.. Does anybody know what's goin on?
