The easy way is to just use the String replace method that replaces a char sequence with another char sequence: str.replace("||", "| |"); If you want to "do it yourself," you'll probably want to use a StringBuffer since you'll be "mutating."

26. duplicating String's replaceAll() method in 1.3    coderanch.com

Correct: the second parameter is not an ordinary String, but it's not a regex String. The only thing special with it, is that variables are interpolated in it.

The problem is that backslash is an escape both in Java string literals and also in regular expressions.
