How can i insert a char into a string

[Jamie]

Is there any method available to insert a character at a specific position in a string?

For example:

st = "abde" <------ Original string
st= "abCde" <------ Add "C" in position 2

You can use StringBuffer to do this:

String st = new String("abcde");
st = StringBuffer(st).insert(2, "C").toString();

Thanks. It worked :)

Looks like a missing new before the StringBuffer constructor call.

okay just a quickie...

You resurrected a long dead thread; it didn't even smell funny anymore ...

kind regards,

okay just a quickie...

package dan;

public class addChar {

public static void main(String[] args) {

String str = new String("abde");
str = StringBuffer(str).insert(2, "C").toString(str);


    }

}

'StringBuffer' after 'str =' is showing an error:

cannot find symbol
symbol: method StringBuffer(java.lang.String)

i know this is probably a really stupid question but its annoyed me now

Use

String st = new String("abcde");
st = [B]new[/B] StringBuffer(st).insert(2, "C").toString();

[JosAH]

Use

String st = new String("abcde");
st = [B]new[/B] StringBuffer(st).insert(2, "C").toString();

This zombie thread is long dead, let it r.i.p.

So... I was trying to use this as an example for what I'm trying to do. Basically I just want to add a 1 or a 0 to the end of a pre-existing String. <-binary conversion stuff.
Anyway, so when i try to do it, Eclipse keeps telling me a I need to create a method for StringBuffer(String)..

example..
output = StringBuffer(output).insert("0").toString();

But it should be noted that I've already included: import java.lang.*;
in my code... Help?
Sorry if this seems dumb. I'm extremely new to java and coding in general.

Please ask your new question in a new thread, rather than hijack and reanimate an old zombie thread.

Thanks.
