good day.
i'm busy downloading the java sdk to start my journey down the path of becoming a java bean.
i've got an simple app thati want to try building (i know i havea large learning curve to get over)...
i want to create an app that would take an input string and convert each character to a different character, eg. abcd would become bcde. But i know that using a search and replace function as:
replace a with b, b with c, d with e means that my program will give me a string if i where to build the step line by line
1: bbcd
2: cccd
3: dddd
4: eeee
how would you do a selective search and replace or translating or encoding (i dont know what to lable it)... without encountering the above
thank you in advanced ( and for not critizing my lack of knowledge yet)
