java equivalent for regex to replace all characters up to a specific character in a string

Question

I am trying to find the java equivalent of doing the following string manipulation (vb.net):

   linkUrl = Regex.Replace(linkUrl, ".*url=", "")

Basically strip all characters up to and including the one provided. Also are there any known examples anyone can provide for similar regular expressions used in java.

replaceAll()

You could do

linkUrl = linkUrl.replaceAll(".*url=", "");
