Unable to replace String containing special characters

Question

I want to replace all special characters with whitespace but I am unable to replace x :

String search = "640×20141007151608@#$%$20141008104817.jpeg";
String newSearch = search.replaceAll("[\\p{Punct}&&[^_]]", "");
System.out.println(newSearch);

output : 640×2014100715160820141008104817jpeg

Answer 1

I use the logic below:

String newSearch = search.replaceAll("[^A-Za-z0-9 ]","");

That is, remove anything that is not a number or a digit. Is this what you wanted ?

Answer 2

[^0-9a-zA-Z\.]

Try this.Repalce by ``.See demo.
