Replace dash character in Java String [duplicate]

Question

I tried to replace "-" character in a Java String but is doesn't work :

str.replace("\u2014", "");

Could you help me ?

Answer 1

String is Immutable in Java. You have to reassign it to get the result back:

String str ="your string with dashesh";
str= str.replace("\u2014", "");

See the API for details.
