don't use new String()... just set
String str2 = str.replace('a','b');

Strings are immutable, you need to create a new String, for example:
String str = "aaabbbccc";
String str2 = new String(str.replace('a','b'));

Subject: replacing apostrophes
Hello All,
I need to replace apostrophes from in the text a user puts in a form input
textboxe before the text goes into the mysql database. If apostrophes go
into the database it gets corrupted.
I tried the "replace" function and can use it to replace a letter but am
having trouble with the syntax to use
to tell it to replace an apostrophe because the function says to use single
quotes around the variables that you are replacing.
This works:
String str = "aaabbbccc";
out.println (str.replace('a','b'));
This doesn't work:
String str = "aaabbbccc";
out.println (str.replace(''',''''));
I tried subsituting the outer single quotes with double quotes. That doesn't
work either.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Barbara Johnson
