Hack:   Avoid the dreaded replaceAll method

I am not sure your sample is correct, in java:


a = "\"TEST\"";


for sure does not contain the escape char, because it is removed by the parser, this is not related to replaceAll. From javadoc:


An invocation of this method of the form str.replaceAll(regex, repl)


yields exactly the same result as the expression


Pattern.compile(regex).matcher(str).replaceAll(repl)
