regex - most elegant way of escaping $ in java -
i have base string "abc def"
, trying replace base string "abc$ def$"
using replacefirst()
, running errors $
not escaped.
i tried doing pattern , matcher apis, given below,
newvalue = "abc$ def$"; if(newvalue.contains("$")){ pattern specialcharacters = pattern.compile("$"); matcher newmatchervalue = specialcharacters.matcher(newvalue) ; newvalue = newmatchervalue.replaceall("\\\\$") ; }
this runs error. there elegant way of replacing second string "abc$ def$"
"abc\\\\$ def\\\\$"
use replacefirst()
api successfully?
look @ pattern.quote()
quote regex , matcher.quotereplacement()
quote replacement string.
that said, want to?
system.out.println("abc def".replaceall("([\\w]+)\\b", "$1\\$"));
this prints out abc$ def$
