Java String: Replace a string containing $ sign

Question

How can I replace a String $1 in Java? I tried this, but this doesn't replace it:

System.out.println(someHTMLCodeAsString.replaceAll("$1", "REPLACED"));

Answer 1

The $ is being interpreted as regex instead of as a character (it means 'end of line'). Try System.out.println(someHTMLCodeAsString.replaceAll("\\$1", "REPLACED"));
