Problem with ^ while using java.lang.String.replaceAll method

Hi folks!!

I have a string which contains the character ^. Now, I tried removing this by using replaceAll method in String... but I got weird output!! Just check it out......

This is my program-

class Test

{

public static void main(String[] args)

{

String string = "^";

System.out.println(string);

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

System.out.println(string);

}

}

I saved it in C:\workarea and compiled it. But when I run it i got-

C:\workarea>java Test

^

here's one!!^

^ isn't removed but the replace string comes in the first position!!!!

Can anybody tell what's going on? Is it a mistake in the program or ma mistake with my eyes? :-0
