I have a String which contains characters in the sequence : ":"

Instead of that, I just need: :

Like this: Original: 

"Value**":"**One"

Chages I need: 

"Value : One"

What operation I should do on String like replaceAll to get the required output?

    Looks like broken JSON. Better fix input at the sender. – Fildor Sep 20 '17 at 12:28

    @Fildor I thought too but it would still requires `: {` not `{` – AxelH Sep 20 '17 at 12:28
  • @AxelH It's just a suspicion on my behalf. There is not enough info to really tell where the exact problem is and how to deal with it, IMHO. – Fildor Sep 20 '17 at 12:30
  • Ya,one of the String contains same sequence and that's now solved because of answer below.Thanks. – Deva Sep 20 '17 at 12:40

You have to escape " in order to remove them

yourString = yourString.replaceAll("{\"\":", "");

EDIT

After you asked another question using this one, you should do, assuming you want to replace **":"* * (whitespace between * is for avoid bold font)

yourString = yourString.replaceAll("**\":\"**", ":");

    1) `replace` is enough, your are replacing a fixed string, 2) it is advisable to use `yourString = yourString.replace(...)` to point out the fact that strings are immutable in Java. – Wiktor Stribiżew Sep 20 '17 at 12:28

    Since the string in question looks like bad JSON, I would suggest to fix the issue where it happens: At the sender. – Fildor Sep 20 '17 at 12:29

    As the character sequence in the question is changed now, the accepted answer is doing totally different. – Procrastinator Sep 20 '17 at 13:11
