replace String with another in java

The replace method is what you're looking for.

For example:

String replacedString = someString.replace("HelloBrother", "Brother"); 

Try this: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#replace%28java.lang.CharSequence,%20java.lang.CharSequence%29

String a = "HelloBrother How are you!"; String r = a.replace("HelloBrother","Brother"); System.out.println(r); 

This would print out "Brother How are you!"

There is a possibility not to use extra variables

String s = "HelloSuresh"; s = s.replace("Hello",""); System.out.println(s); 

Replacing one string with another can be done in the below methods

Method 1: Using String replaceAll

 String myInput = "HelloBrother"; String myOutput = myInput.replaceAll("HelloBrother", "Brother"); // Replace hellobrother with brother ---OR--- String myOutput = myInput.replaceAll("Hello", ""); // Replace hello with empty System.out.println("My Output is : " +myOutput); 

Method 2: Using Pattern.compile

 import java.util.regex.Pattern; String myInput = "JAVAISBEST"; String myOutputWithRegEX = Pattern.compile("JAVAISBEST").matcher(myInput).replaceAll("BEST"); ---OR ----- String myOutputWithRegEX = Pattern.compile("JAVAIS").matcher(myInput).replaceAll(""); System.out.println("My Output is : " +myOutputWithRegEX); 

Method 3: Using Apache Commons as defined in the link below:

http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/javadocs/api-z.1/org/apache/commons/lang3/StringUtils.html#replace(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String) 

REFERENCE

 String s1 = "HelloSuresh"; String m = s1.replace("Hello",""); System.out.println(m); 

Another suggestion, Let's say you have two same words in the String

String s1 = "who is my brother, who is your brother"; // I don't mind the meaning of the sentence. 

replace function will change every string is given in the first parameter to the second parameter

System.out.println(s1.replace("brother", "sister")); // who is my sister, who is your sister 

and you can use also replaceAll method for the same result

System.out.println(s1.replace("brother", "sister")); // who is my sister, who is your sister 

if you want to change just the first string which is positioned earlier,

System.out.println(s1.replaceFirst("brother", "sister")); // whos is my sister, who is your brother. 

You can use replace method to achieve this:

String outputString1 = inputString.replace("HelloBrother", "Brother"); String outputString2 = inputString.replace("JAVAISBEST", "BEST");
