Add quotes around each word

Question

I want to transform in Java:

dd fdas dd fdas fads f das fdasf + - || dasf
into:
"dd" "fdas" "dd" "fdas" "fads" "f" "das" "fdasf" + - || "dasf"

basically I want to add quotes around words. \w* -> "\w*\"

Answer 1

replaceAll can do this:

String result = input.replaceAll("(\w+)", "\"$1\"");
