RE: Replace function

[Nicholas Frank <nicholas.frank@s1.com>]

Hi all,
	Remember Strings are immutable (the cannot be minipulated directly).
I would suggest using a StringBuffer for you String manipulation needs.

Hello!

If you want to replace ALL occurrences of the character, you can use the
following method in the String class:

public String replace(char oldChar, char newChar)

If you want to replace a single character you will have to use the
indexOf() function in the string class to find where the first
occurrence of the character is, then replace it by chopping up the
string into substrings (see substring() method in String class)

Hope that helps!
