How to remove " " from java string

Question

I have a java string with " " from a text file the program accesses with a Buffered Reader object. I have tried string.replaceAll(" ","") and it doesn't seem to work.

Any ideas?

cleaned = cleaned.replace(" "," ");

Answer 1

cleaned = cleaned.replace("\u00a0","")

Answer 2

This is a two step process:

strLineApp = strLineApp.replaceAll("&"+"nbsp;", " "); 
strLineApp = strLineApp.replaceAll(String.valueOf((char) 160), " ");

This worked for me. Hope it helps you too!

Answer 3

The same way you mentioned:

String cleaned = s.replace(" "," ");

It works for me.
