String replaceAll() question!

Hello,

i'm using the following to replace two characters from my input string

String str;//some input string

str = str.replaceAll("a","bc");

str = str.replaceAll("x","yz");

Is there a way to do this in single command (using String'sreplace() or

replaceAll()... or something else)?

Kind regards!

just write that:

String str; //some input string

str = str.replaceAll("a", "bc").replaceAll("x", "yz");

It is so simple.

Good Luck.

Thanx for reply, ... but it's still going to iterate over the string twice. I looking for some way to iterate only once over the string and replace each occurrence of char "a" with "bc" and each "x" with "yz".

If the OP needs something more sophisticated than this then he should look at
