Replace more then one occurance?

Question

Hi i'm trying to replace all the characters in a line and keep an increment track of which one they are for example:
this is by blah I hope you enjoy my blah do you think they will like my blahturns into this
this is by 1turkey I hope you enjoy my 2turkey do you think they will like my 3turkeyI'm using regular expressions with a while loop and it's only doing the last occurance in the line, how can i get it so it's like the above example ?

Answer 1

class ReplacementTest
    public static void main(String[] args)
        new ReplacementTest().go();
    void go()
        String str = "this is by blah I hope you enjoy my blah do you think they will like my blah";
        System.out.println(numberedReplaceAll(str, "blah", "turkey"));
    String numberedReplaceAll(String str, String wordToReplace, String replacement)
        String[] tokens = str.split(wordToReplace);
        StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();
        for (int i = 0; i < tokens.length; i++)
            result.append(tokens[i] + (i + 1) + replacement);
        return result.toString();
}
