Removing words from a String

[nn12]

I have a string e.g

String abc = "Sony Ericsson is one of the top, global, mobile phone manufacturers. Sony Ericsson is a joint venture established on October 1, 2001"

Can you suggest me the best way to identify all the appearance of the word Sony Ericsson from the above string and replace it with Sony~Ericsson. So that the final o/p string is

String output= "Sony~Ericsson is one of the top, global, mobile phone manufacturers. Sony~Ericsson is a joint venture established on October 1, 2001"

Have a look at the String.replaceAll( ... ) method (read the API documentation for the String class).

kind regards,

Jos

Yes Josah. I too was thinking of the same lines, but was not sure how to write an regex for the same. If anyone has prior experience with regex, can you help me out.

The regular expression to search for is simply "Sony Ericsson" and the replacement String is "Sony~Ericsson"; nothing mysterious about them ;-)
