issue with basic operations (strings)

Question

I'm a newbie in java and as far as I concern this is pretty to do simple but I don't remember exactly the synthax I need to apply in order to get what's next:

I have the following string:

Random sentence with a few words

I want a proper synthax which returns the following:

Random-sentence-with-a-few-words

Thanks.

replace whitespace with hyphen? There is a String.replace() method for that. — Rohit Jain

Use String#replace(char, char):

myRandomStringWithSpaces.replace(' ', '-');

Edit: Used chars instead as per linked javadoc

You can use a replace

Use replace() to replace specifics words in your string:
MyString.replace(' ', '-');

Here you need specify 2 chars (the original value and the second parameter the value to replace)
