String.replaceAll() is not working

Question

I am editing some email that got from tesseract ocr.

Here is my code:

 if (email != null) {
        email = email.replaceAll(\" \",         


        

Answer 1

You have to escape . by \\.like following :

if (email != null) {
    email = email.replaceAll(" ", "");
    email = email.replaceAll("caneer", "career");
    email = email.replaceAll("canaer", "career");
    email = email.replaceAll("canear", "career");
    email = email.replaceAll("caraer", "career");
    email = email.replaceAll("carear", "career");
    email = email.replace("|", "l");
    email = email.replaceAll("}", "j");
    email = email.replaceAll("j3b", "job");
    email = email.replaceAll("gmaii\\.com", "gmail.com");
    email = email.replaceAll("hotmaii\\.com", "hotmail.com");
    email = email.replaceAll("\\.c0m", "com");
    email = email.replaceAll("\\.coin", "com");
    email = email.replaceAll("consuit", "consult");
}
return email;
