I want to transform in Java:
dd fdas dd fdas fads f das fdasf + - || dasf
into:
"dd" "fdas" "dd" "fdas" "fads" "f" "das" "fdasf" + - || "dasf"
basically I want to add quotes around words. \w* -> "\w*\"

A:
replaceAll can do this:
String result = input.replaceAll("(\w+)", "\"$1\"");

You should group the word to use it in the replace

@Colin: thanks, slipped my mind.

@Colin, Konrad You could use `$0` if you're not grouping it. So `replaceAll("\w+", "\"$0\"")` <- this works in .Net - I don't know for sure that the syntax is equivalent in Java.

@lasse: That should work too. I prefer explicit grouping, though.

I though I won't get grouping in replaceAll. +1 for Java

A:
It's fairly simple. Use preg_replace and sorround all text captures with quotes.
preg_replace("/([a-z0-9]+)/i", '"$1"', $string);
You will have to find the replacement of preg_replace for java :)
