I'm trying to use the insertAt method to manipulate String Data using a StringBuffer but I keep getting an error that insertAt is an unrecognized method. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong here?




String strA = "Hello There" ;//initial string value

StringBuffer strBuffer = new StringBuffer(strA);

strBuffer.insertAt(0,"World!");

its simply

public synchronized StringBuffer insert(int offset, Object obj)

I still get the same error. its the insertAt method that is causing me all the headache. It should be in the java.lang.String Class but java can't import it for some reason. Any ideas?

If i was not clear, its insert and not insertAt

Thanks Bhandari! It works now, the program required insertAt but the method doesn't exist apparently in my java class library, insert is working. Thanks again!

Please read the explanation of the methods on the JavaDoc website, about StringBuffer and insert.

There is no method called insertAt(int, String) there is only charAt(int), deleteCharAt(int) and setCharAt(int, char) .
