Java regex case insensitivity not working

Question

I\'m trying to remove some words in a string using regex using below program. Its removing properly but its considering only case sensitive. How to make it as case insensiti

Answer 1

I don't think you can specify case insensitive with the quick replace. Try a pattern instead. i.e:

package com.test.java;

public class RemoveWords {

public static void main(String args[]) {
  // assaign some words to string
  String sample ="what Is the latest news today in Europe? is there any thing special or everything is common.";
  String regex = "( is | the |in | any )"
  System.out.print
  (
    Pattern.compile(regex, Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE).matcher(sample).replaceAll("")
  );
 }
}
