Hello,

Quick one:

I'm trying to remove this from a String: "<![CDATA["

But when using this line it ignores it (Would usually just single
escape it but java doesn't like that either):
tagContents.replaceAll("<!\\[CDATA\\[", "");

When using this one it throws an execption (With good cause since [ is
a regex special character):
tagContents.replaceAll("<![CDATA[", "");

Whats your guys suggestion?

This works for me:
<sscce comment="run as a JUnit test">
import org.junit.Test;
import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;
public class RegexTest
{
@Test
public void testRegex()
{
final String ts = "<![CDATA[This is a test.";
final String exp = "This is a test.";

final String tx = ts.replaceAll( "<!\\[CDATA\\[", "");
assertEquals( exp, tx );
}
}
</sscce>

So what exactly is your problem? What are you doing that you didn't
tell us?

You really, really, really, really, really, really, really should
provide an SSCCE. Obviously your problem is in the part you are not
revealing to us.

This looks right, and works for me. Just guessing: Do you
keep the String that replaceAll() returns, or do you just throw
it away (imagining, perhaps, that replaceAll() modifies its own
immutable String object)?

Thanks all,

Literally, i was doing a .replaceAll and then not assigning the return
to anything. I'm a bad man.

Thanks to Bent C/D

tagContents.replaceAll(Pattern.quote("<![CDATA["), "");
