How to escape $ in java?

Question

I am trying below code but getting error

String x = \"aaa XXX bbb\";
    String replace = \"XXX\";
    String y = \"xy$z\";
    String z=y.replaceAll(\"$\",          


        

Answer 1

If the replacement string includes a dollar sign or a backslash character, you should use

Matcher.quoteReplacement()

So change

String z=y.replaceAll("$", "\\$");` 

to

String z = Matcher.quoteReplacement(y);
