String replacement...

[diskhub]

I have been given a string by my lecturer such as the following:
"abc %d %s %t %h %o"

she told me that i must write something to replace each of the %s, %t, etc
with a string "apple", "orange"...

How can i do that?

Many ways to do it. In String class you can find a method replace() for string replacing. Read the API for find the argument list.

      String str="abc %d %s %t %h %o";
      System.out.println(str.replace( "%d","Apple" ));

Hi,
was told that there's formatter class that i can use in Java.
but formatter class only does the standard, %f, %s, %d....

Can i add customer format to the formatter like %o, %i....

Then you've to think about the way of replacing stuff. You may keep things in a map and use, if you can. Sine I don't know the exact thing I cannot say exactly which way to go.

Looking at your last post, I feel that you want to format a string, not replace, even both are quite similar.

Actually for replace you can find more ways, such as replaceall() and stuff. Refer the API you can find more information.
