So the next question is why Matcher doesn't implement it :) On Mar 20, 2012 2:35 PM, "Mike Duigou" <mike.duigou@oracle.com> wrote:

I took a look through the bug database and can't find a reason (if there was one). It's likely not implemented because Matcher doesn't implement replaceLast().

Hi,

I was looking at String API and noticed that there are methods for string replacement: replace, replaceAll, replaceFirst but no replaceLast. Without getting into detail of how to implement replaceLat (I know how), why was this method not included in String API? I am just curious about this.

Thanks, Alex
