hi,

Can anyone please help me find and replace character ( in a string.
For example String is abc(xyz
how can i obtain the string abcxyz?

I tried the following code but it doesn work

Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("(");
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher("abc(xyz");
String output = matcher.replaceAll("");

I get the error
Exception in thread "main" java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException: Unclosed group near index 1
