Problem with unicode converting from "#x...." to "\u..."

Hi,

I'm working on some unicode decoding stuff. The origianl data I have is in text format and the unicode started with "#x", for example, "#x3008" means "<". I used the following code to replace the "#x" with "\u". However, after the replacement, the "\u3008" will just appear as "\u3008", not being decoded into "<" in java.

Could anyone help me on this?

Thanks a lot!

The test.java I used is as below:

import java.io.*;

import java.text.ParseException;

import java.util.*;

import java.util.regex.Matcher;

import java.util.regex.Pattern;

public class test {

public static void main(String argv[]){

String rawText="CEG1 \u30086J\u3009 cells #x3008";

//Tabby #x30086J#x3009 (lane 4); 5#x20137

Pattern p = Pattern.compile("#x([0-9A-Fa-f]{4})");

Matcher m = p.matcher(rawText);

String newtext=m.replaceAll("\\\\u$1");

;

System.out.println(rawText);

System.out.println(newtext);

}

}
