Converting email or web address into *****

Question

I am trying to convert email or web address into *****

text=text.replaceAll(".net","*****");
text=text.replaceAll(".org","*****");it replace .com and without com as well e.g. if there is company, network or organization it also change without caring dot?
          text1=text1.replaceAll("www","http://www");
          text1=text1.replaceAll("www1","http://www1");
          text1=text1.replaceAll("(?:ht|f)tp://\\S+(?<![!.?])", "<a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">*****</a>");but I can not control e.g. hotmail.com or yahoo.com or kkk.com

Far from perfect to say the least (watch out for false positives!), but it might give you some new ideas:
        String text = "My e-mail address id [email protected] and you can find my "+
"website at http://somesite.co.uk, ok?";
String domainRegex = "[\\w]+(([.][\\w]+){1,2})";
String emailRegex = "[\\w]+@"+domainRegex;
String siteRegex = "(https?://)?(www[.])?"+domainRegex;
text = text.replaceAll(emailRegex+"|"+siteRegex, "*****");
System.out.println(text);Good luck.
this code changes the following also that shouldn't be:
SS201/202/304/316 tube.carbon pipe, fittings.
converts SS201/202/304/316 ***** pipe, fittings.
and how can v solve this problem?
my website is yahoo dot com
and my email is kk at hotmail dot com
thanks & regardsLike I said: the code is far from perfect and will probably produce false positives (as you already mentioned). Try to play with it so that it suits your needs.
