Using the method replace(CharSequence target, CharSequence replacement) in String, how can I make the target case-insensitive?
For example, the way it works right now:
String target = "FooBar";
target.replace("Foo", "") // would return "Bar"
String target = "fooBar";
target.replace("Foo", "") // would return "fooBar"
How can I make it so replace (or if there is a more suitable method) is case-insensitive so that both examples return "Bar"?
This question is related to
java

replace
substring
case-insensitive
String target = "FOOBar";
target = target.replaceAll("(?i)foo", "");
System.out.println(target);
Output:
Bar
It's worth mentioning that replaceAll treats the first argument as a regex pattern, which can cause unexpected results. To solve this, also use Pattern.quote as suggested in the comments.
