How to replace a whole string with another in an array in Java

Question

I want to replace, say String oldString with String newString in an Array along the lines of:

f         


        

Answer 1

You can use IntStream over the indices of this array and process certain strings in a certain way:

String[] text = {"Lorem", "oldString", "dolor", "sit", "amet"};

IntStream.range(0, text.length)
        // to filter the certain strings, or you
        // can skip this line to process each string
        .filter(i -> text[i].equals("oldString"))
        // processing a string
        .forEach(i -> text[i] = text[i].replace("oldString", "newString"));

System.out.println(Arrays.toString(text));
// [Lorem, newString, dolor, sit, amet]
