Format a message using MessageFormat.format() in Java
You need to use double apostrophe instead of single in the "You''re", eg:
String text = java.text.MessageFormat.format("You''re about to delete {0} rows.", 5);
System.out.println(text);
Just be sure you have used double apostrophe ('')
String text = java.text.MessageFormat.format("You''re about to delete {0} rows.", 5);
System.out.println(text);
Edit:
Within a String, a pair of single quotes can be used to quote any arbitrary characters except single quotes. For example, pattern string "'{0}'" represents string "{0}", not a FormatElement. ...
Any unmatched quote is treated as closed at the end of the given pattern. For example, pattern string "'{0}" is treated as pattern "'{0}'".
Source http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/MessageFormat.html
Add an extra apostrophe '
to the MessageFormat
pattern String
to ensure the '
character is displayed
String text =
java.text.MessageFormat.format("You''re about to delete {0} rows.", 5);

An apostrophe (aka single quote) in a MessageFormat pattern starts a quoted string and is not interpreted on its own. From the javadoc
A single quote itself must be represented by doubled single quotes '' throughout a String.
The String
You\\'re
is equivalent to adding a backslash character to the String
so the only difference will be that You\re
will be produced rather than Youre
. (before double quote solution ''
applied)
