How do you remove special characters in java

Question

how do you remove special characters in a java string because this does not work replaceAll("\\W", "")

Answer 1

Are you sure the correct Object Type and variable has been declared before the method? If you just use replaceAll(); it won't work. You have to tell it what type and variable to replaceAll with.
