I am learning Java, and in a task I have to replace some but not all occurrences of a '-' to a '(' and same for '*' a ')', only if the inside of the - is an id as as follows:
String input = "-id1234* -id1235* -id1236* Do not replace these -signs*";
String output = "(id1234) (id1235) (id1236) Do not replace these -signs*";
I have tried iterating through a loop, and replacing the first occurrence once the for loop …
