Convert dash to underscorde

Hi

I have transferred Cobol program to Java program. After the tranfromation I got Java file its variables have - "dash". The problem is that Java considers this as subtraction.

I know there is a method that takes the java file and converts each - to _

Could you please tell me what the method is ?

Thank you

Don't know if i understood that right, but you can try String.replace() or even better
linux sed...

If I get it right you want to change the chars inside the .java file? Use a text editor and do edit --> replace and make it search for "-" and convert it to "_" but be sure to do it one by one and not replace all because it could brake your code if there is a dash somewhere that is needed...

No I need to use a method in Java to replace.

Thanks.
