replace multiple occurances of string with a single string

[ranumehta79]

Hi,

I want to replace mulitple occurances of a string one after the another
with a single string

for eg .

input : a hello b world c java abcabcabc
output: a hello b world c java def

I mean multiple occurances of pattern 'abc' with a single string 'def'.


how can do this with JAVA regular expressions ?

I tried replaceAll method in string class, but I dont know how to
format regular expression.

thanks
Ranu
