Hi
I have a string
String st= "\\qwer\\d34x\\icxv"
I want to replace above string with the following
String st= "\wer\ete\x432 "
How can I do this.
Thx

Hmm, good point. I was going by the subject of the post when I replied; however, the actual post does not really make sense.
I have tried replaceAll(), but that doesnt gave me the result I wanted.
As far as meaning of replace is concerened we all know ENGLISH language and I dont think that I need to be philosophical to tell what is the meaning of "REPLACE".
The title of the post clearly shows what I want.
Thx

Come on, you posted that you wanted
String st= "\\qwer\\d34x\\icxv"
to be replaced with
String st= " \wer\ete\x432 "
So you also want to drop a q and other stuff in the string. Or do you want to change String st= "\\qwer\\d34x\\icxv" to String st= "\qwer\d34x\icxv" ?
If so , replaceAll is the way to do it.
If you only want to replace \\ with \, and you're running JDK 1.5 or later, use replace() instead of replaceAll(): st = st.replace("\\\\", "\\");
The replaceAll() version would be st = st.replaceAll("\\\\\\\\", "\\\\");

Then you used it wrongly.

Based on the dissimilarity between the title and body of your post I think YOU need to know the meaning of 'REPLACE'.
> The title of the post clearly shows what I want.
Then, other than confusion, what does the body of your post add.

Then you did it wrong.

Don't get snitty. If you can't bother to communicate clearly and precisely, don't expect help.
