How to replace '{Name}' in java

Question

I need to replace a value in a string like {Name} with values.
How can we replace the special character { and }?
I have tried this:

str.replaceAll("{Name}","A");

But this doesnt work if we have special characters.

Answer 1

Use replace rather than replaceAll, since replace doesn't expect and parse a regular expression.

Example: (live copy)

String str = "Here it is: {Name} And again: {Name}";
System.out.println("Before: " + str);
str = str.replace("{Name}","A");
System.out.println("After: " + str);

Output:

Before: Here it is: {Name} And again: {Name}
After: Here it is: A And again: A
