Solved Replace All not Working.

Hey Guys,
Ive been working on a little trickery with strings.
I ran into a problem thought.
I have a string that says "1.7.10)", how can I get rid of that ")"?
This is what I tried.

Code:

    String tempVersion = getServer().getVersion();
    String[] version = tempVersion.split(" ");
    String finalversion = version[2];
    finalversion.replaceAll("\\(.+\\)", "");
    downloadAssets(finalversion);

Any ideas what to do instead?
Please help,
-Blue

 

Well if you don't need to use the regex for other things...how about finalversion = finalversion.substring(0, finalstring.length()-1)?

 

.replaceAll(")", "");

I'll try that, thanks!

Tried that before, shoots out a huge error.

Try .replace(']', ' '); since you're only replacing one character.

 

Then try .replaceAll("\)", "");
Edit nvm

Code:

Exception in thread "main" java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException: Unmatched closing ')'

Use jake's code.

 

Use String#replace() to replace ALL matches, without regex. (String.replace("(", ""))
Use String#replaceAll to replace ALL matches, with regex:
Since ) is a special regex character, we have to use \) (with a backslash)
But since \ is a special character in an String, we have to escape it, too: \\)
So all in all String#replaceAll("\\)", "");
