        Read the original article
        Hit count: 372
        
I have this code to
public static String ProcessTemplateInput(String input, int count) {
        Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("\\{([^\\}]+)\\}");
        Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(input);
        while (matcher.find()) {
            String newelem=SelectRandomFromTemplate(matcher.group(1), count);
        }
        return input;
    }
Input is:
 String s1 = "planets {Sun|Mercury|Venus|Earth|Mars|Jupiter|Saturn|Uranus|Neptune}{?|!|.} Is this ok? ";
Output example:
String s2="planets Sun, Mercury. Is this ok? ";
I would like to replace the {} set of templates with the picked value returned by the method. How do I do that in Java1.5?
