Replace Last Occurrence of a character in a string [duplicate]

by

This should work:

String replaceLast(String string, String substring, String replacement)
{
  int index = string.lastIndexOf(substring);
  if (index == -1)
    return string;
  return string.substring(0, index) + replacement
          + string.substring(index+substring.length());
}

This:

System.out.println(replaceLast("\"Position, fix, dial\"", "\"", "\\\""));

Prints:

"Position, fix, dial\"

Test.
