How to replace dollar signs with ""?
I have a program that prompts the user for an entry and they could potentially enter in a lot of things, but I want to catch the dollar signs and convert them to "" in terms of strings. I've tried using the replace method on my string like:
input.replace("$", "");
But that obviously doesn't work. What can I do to achieve this? What if there are multiple dollar signs? Is there a method on String which I can call to replace all dollar signs?

Try
String.replaceAll(String statement, String replacement)
String (Java 2 Platform SE v1.4.2)

I tried that...It still didn't work :\Originally Posted by Tsarin
The string value doesn't become changed at all
Re: How to replace dollar signs with ""?
If you read the API for String you would notice that the replace methods return a new String with the replacement carried out.
So all you need to do is assign the replaced version back to input.
