Java: Remove full stop in string

java, replace

Solution

`replaceAll` takes a regular expressions as an argument, and `.` in a regex means "any character".

You can use `replace` instead:

inpt = inpt.replace(".", "");

It will remove all occurences of `.`.

Problem

I want to delete all the full stops ( . ) in a string. Therefore I tried: `inpt = inpt.replaceAll(".", "");`, but instead of deleting only the full stops, it deletes the entire content of the string. Is it possible to delete only the full stops? Thank you for your answers!
