Java special characters
- by Binaryrespawn
Hi all,
this must be quite simple but I am having great difficulty. You see I am trying to find a string within another string as follows.
e = input.indexOf("-->");
s = input.indexOf("<!--");
input = input.replace(input.substring(s, e + 3), " ");
The integers e and s are returning -1 in that it was not found and this is causing the replace method to fail. The test string I am using is "Chartered Certified<!--lol--> Accountants (ACCA)". I tried to creat a new string object and pass in the string as an argument as follows
e=input.indexOf(new String("<!--"));
This yielded the same result.
Any ideas ?
