I'm using a String like: I am using message.replaceAll("%%NAME", me); where me is a String. This line of code is not working for me. I was wondering what I was doing wrong?

Code looks more or less OK, though there may be some syntax issues. Here's a working example:

APIzation

String message = "%%NAME is inviting you.";
String name = "Diana";
String result = message.replaceAll("%%NAME", name);

package com.stackoverflow.api;

public class Human7577573 {

  public static String replaceWordInString(
    String message,
    String target,
    String name
  ) {
    return message.replaceAll(target, name);
  }
}

package com.stackoverflow.api;

  }
