String input = "What's the story's story?";
String output = input.replaceAll("'", "\\\\'");
I used the following class to test this:
public class TestReplaceAll {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String input = "";
String regex = "";
String replacement = "";
try {
input = args[0];
regex = args[1];
replacement = args[2];
} catch (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException e) {
System.out.println(
"usage: java TestReplaceAll input regex replace");
System.exit(1);
}
String output = input.replaceAll(regex, replacement);
System.out.println(output);
System.exit(output.equals(input) ? 1 : 0);
}
}
I'd imagine this has more to do with The Java Language spec's take on
literal string specification than it has to do with the specifics of
String.replaceAll().
Ciao,
Sheldon.
