How do I delete specific characters from a particular String in Java?

Question

For example I\'m extracting a text String from a text file and I need those words to form an array. However, when I do all that some words end with comma (,) or a full stop (.)

The best method is what Mark Byers explains:

s = s.substring(0, s.length() - 1)

For example, if we want to replace \ to space " " with ReplaceAll, it doesn't work fine

String.replaceAll("\\", "");

or

String.replaceAll("\\$", "");   //if it is a path
