Ah ha!!!!
Couldn’t get .replace(), .replaceAll() or .split() to work:
String s = new String(“electric foo bar);
s.replace( ‘e’, ‘E’ ); // char, replace every one, WOULDN’T compile
s.replaceAll( “e”, “E” ); // String – this WOULD compile, did nothing
s.replaceAll( “e”, ” -Eek!- ” ); // ditto
s.replaceAll( ” -Eek!- “, “e” ); // ditto
what was needed was:
s = s.replace( ‘e’, ‘E’ ); // MUST Assign the return string.
The compiler probably took returnAll() because it returns a reference to an array of array references… ok, sure, implict cast to VOID. Next.
Consistancy? We ain’t got no stinkin’ consistancy!
How very human this Java stuff is…
