Java replace method

[rodkun]

Hi everyone.

I found a java code but can't figure out how it works. Here is the code.

package samp;

public class ReplaceMethod
{

public static void main(String[] args)
{
String dummyFileDirectory = "C:\\Rod\\Anime\\Episodes\\Naruto";
String modifiedDirectory = "";

System.out.println("dummyFileDirectory: " + dummyFileDirectory);

modifiedDirectory = (char)34 + dummyFileDirectory.replace( "\\", "\\\\" ).replace( "\"", "\\\"" )
+ (char)34;

System.out.println("\n" + "modifiedDirectory: " + modifiedDirectory);

}
}

I don't know what happened to 34.

Here is the result when executed.

*************************************

dummyFileDirectory: C:\Rod\Anime\Episodes\Naruto

modifiedDirectory: "C:\\Rod\\Anime\\Episodes\\Naruto"

What do you mean you can't figure out how it works?

[rodkun]

I don't know what the (char)34 is used for. Even when the results are displayed it is not there. What happened to (char)34?

(char)34 inserts a " into the string
