Removing single quotes from the string

[Andy Shende]

Hi,

I want to remove single quotes from the string, e.g.
input = can't don't won't
output = cant dont wont

I tried

 
1. replaceAll("'", "");
2. replaceAll("\'", "");
3. replaceAll("[\']", "");  

But none of those worked for me

Can somebody tell me how to do that? Checking every character won't be a good choice for me.

You do realize that Strings are immutable and that replace() won't change the String itself, but will create a new one returned as the value of the method. Right?

Yes, I am collecting it in another variable

Then the first option should work ... maybe you can show us exactly what you did?

did you solve it??

try this:

 String str = "can't don't won't ";
		String str1 = str.replace("'", "");
		System.out.println(str1);

str.replace("'", "");

worked. It was some logical error in my code. sorry for the trouble
