java replace specific character code example

Example 1: how to change single character of a string in java

//short answer: you cannot individually change any specific character
//of a String in java. You can however do this:

String s1 = "This is a String";
String s2 = s1.substring(0, 8) + "o" + s1.substring(9);
System.out.println(s2);
//Prints "This is o String", replaced the 8th character with an o

   public static void main(String args[]){
	String str = new String("Site is BeginnersBook.com");

	System.out.print("String after replacing com with net :" );
	System.out.println(str.replaceFirst("com", "net"));

	System.out.print("String after replacing Site name:" );
	System.out.println(str.replaceFirst("Beginners(.*)", "XYZ.com"));
   }
