How to replace repeated substring in other string?

Sep 14th, 2005

Hi

I want to replace "ta,at,an,bc" in main string {ta,at,an,bc,ta,at,an,bc,ta,at,an,bc,ef,ta,at,an,bc,ta,at,an,bc" with (ta at an bc)*.The result array should be "(ta at an bc)*,e,(ta at an bc)*". Can anyone give me some hint? Thanks in advance.

Look at the java.lang.String class' Java API doc through google. You should find what you're looking for.

Have a counter variable that keeps track of the current index, iterate and find some new junk.

You can use the String classes replaceAll method. Here is an example:

 Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
String str = "Hello blank";
String newStr = str.replaceAll("blank", "Jim") ;
 
System.out.println(newStr); //prints "Hello Jim"
String str = "Hello blank";
String newStr = str.replaceAll("blank", "Jim") ;

System.out.println(newStr); //prints "Hello Jim"
