I have this string ; String text="hello my friend :-x";
text=text.replaceAll(":-X","<img src=file:///c:\\test\\smileys\\1.gif />");
The result is this : <img src=file:///c:textsmileys1.gif />
Why is that ?
How can i get the desired result ?

I have this string ; String text="hello my friend :-x";

The result is this : <img src=file:///c:text\smileys1.gif />
text.replace("\","\\\\");
After using this i get the result that i want
For best results, you should post [url=http://www.physci.org/codes/sscce/]complete, working test programs[/url], so we can confirm your results before we start trying to solve your problem. None of the code you've posted so far works the way you say it does. Here's a sample program that should clarify things for you: public class Test
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String text="hello my friend :-x";
System.out.println(text);
// won't work: 'X' is in wrong case
String text1 = text.replaceAll(":-X","<img src=file:///c:\\test\\smileys\\1.gif />");
System.out.println(text1);
// right case, but replaceAll eats the backslashes
String text2 = text.replaceAll(":-x","<img src=file:///c:\\test\\smileys\\1.gif />");
System.out.println(text2);
// works, but what if a user really types ":-X"?
String text3 = text.replace(":-x","<img src=file:///c:\\test\\smileys\\1.gif />");
System.out.println(text3);
// handles both cases, and satisfiies replaceAll's backslash addiction...
String text4 = text.replaceAll(":-[xX]","<img src=file:///c:\\\\test\\\\smileys\\\\1.gif />");
System.out.println(text4);
// ...but you can almost always use forward-slashes instead
// (plus, another way to deal with the case issue)
String text5 = text.replaceAll("(?i):-X","<img src=file:///c:/test/smileys/1.gif />");
System.out.println(text5);
}
}
