Add quotes around each word

Question

I want to transform in Java:

dd fdas dd fdas fads f das fdasf + - || dasf
into:
\"dd\" \"fdas\" \"dd\" \"fdas\" \"fads\" \"f\" \"das\" \"fdasf\" + - || \"dasf\

Answer 1

replaceAll can do this:

String result = input.replaceAll("(\w+)", "\"$1\"");

Answer 2

It's fairly simple. Use preg_replace and sorround all text captures with quotes.

preg_replace("/([a-z0-9]+)/i", '"$1"', $string);

You will have to find the replacement of preg_replace for java :)
