Strings. Deleting certain character in a String

Hello, How could I delete certain characters in a String, totally deleting it not just replacing it with a space..
Because I need to get the length of the letters only.. The space is always added in the counting of the length :D

Can't you just do someting like:

Code:

---

str = str.replace("X", "");

---

For more detail you can read it here: String (Java 2 Platform SE 5.0)

hmm.. the next cannot be an empty string...

ha, it doesnt work if I use a variable... but I need the variable to determine the letter I want to be replaced.

Ok I got it now.. thanks :D

hmm how about changing only one character.. .replace changes all the occurrence of that character in a string.. example "develop" change the first e into something else ... like duvelop

I promise that you will find the necessary method in here: String (Java Platform SE 7 )

can you give me a hint ;)

The method name has replace in it.

And it's not the [hint]first[/hint] method on the list.
