Replace characters in a string
Hi,
I can't seem to get String.replace('-','_') or
String.replace("-","_") to work in my template
<table
name="$element.name.localPart.toUpperCase().replace("\-","_")">
In this template localPart is a Java String.
With gratitude,
Philip Donaghy

You can use String in 1.5.0.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#replace(java.lang.CharSequence,
java.lang.CharSequence)
## So that's why it worked for me. :)

The problem is that Literal strings in velocity are Strings, not chars.
According to the JavaDocs for java.lang.String, the params for replace need
to be chars.
Try replaceAll or replaceFirst, assuming you are using JDK 1.4+.

Try removing the backslash. Velocity invokes methods as is was told to. ;)
