How to do a string replacement with a special characters?

Question

Hi there, I've a string which I need to do a replacement in but replaced and/or replacement contain a special chars.
I.e. like this:
newConvertedString = newConvertedString.replaceAll("</soapenv:Body>", "");
newConvertedString = newConvertedString.replaceAll("<default:edit-config>", "</default:edit-config>");
It does not do anything. I know that repalceAll(regexc., regexp.) but what can I use instead??
Thanks ina advance

Thanks 'jverd'. Just one more question - do you know if there any limit on the replacement string/regex used with/in .replaceAll()??No, the only limit would be the limit on how big a string can be and how much memory you have. However, anpoorly written regex on a long String will take a long time to execute.
Seems like when I'm trying to replace one like this (and even a longer ones) it does not replace anything while it's there.
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soapenv:Header><wsse:Security xmlns:wsss="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd" xmlns:wssa="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">
Then there was no match.
