Question

I have this java string:

String bla = '<my:string>invalid_content</my:string>'; 

How can I replace the ‘invalid_content’ piece?

I know I should use something like this:

bla.replaceAll(regex,'new_content'); 

in order to have:

'<my:string>new_content</my:string>'; 

but I can’t discover how to create the correct regex

help please 🙂

You could do something like

String ResultString = subjectString.replaceAll('(<my:string>)(.*)(</my:string>)', '$1whatever$3');
