The arguments to replaceAll() are regular expressions. "[" introduces a character class.

You still have to provide the closing brace, though: "[]]". So this is why Java's giving you ...

replaceAll does not perform a string replace, it performs a regular expression replace. And the pipe symbol is a special character in regular expressions, which does not mean its literal self. The javadocs for java.util.regex.Pattern have some of the gory details on that.

Strings are immutable - mostly for safety/security reasons that are beyond me. Once made their contents are not altered. The replace() method is returning the altered string, but it needs a new home. String s = "test"; String x = s.replace("s", "x"); System.out.println(s); System.out.println(x); This turns test to text, but you won't see the result in s, only in x.
