title: android replace multiple characters from a string
body: <p>I know that this may be an amateur question but for some reason I can't remember how to do this.
  I have 2 strings.</p>
  
  <pre><code>String s ="[";
  String q ="]";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>if my text contains any of these i want to replace it with <code>w</code> which is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>String w = "";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have tried the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>output=String.valueOf(profile.get("text")).replace(s&amp;&amp;q, w);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>from what i understand if of S([) and any of Q(]) are in text they will be replaced with w.
  my problem is getting the 2. if i only try and replace one then it will work. otherwise it wont.</p>
  
  <p>any help would be appreciated</p>
