Replaces each substring of this string that matches the given regular expression with the given replacement.
String s = “This is a string”;

JAVA replace string within a string

October 22, 2008

The following code replaces an instance of a string within a string:
String testString = “This is a text string”
testString = testString.replace(“text string”, “sentance”);
testString will now print “This is a sentance”.
The replace() function is case sensative, and will only carry out the replace if the case matches both strings.
