Replacing only specific match's group using Java regular expressions by (new Matcher..).replaceAll

Good day to all!
Using (Java) regular expressions, I’m trying to execute [Matcher] replaceAll to replace only a specific group, not all matches. Can you tell me how to do it in JAVA? Thank you very much in advance!

static void main(String[] args) {
        String exp = "foofoobarfoo";
    
        exp = Pattern
                .compile("foo(foo)")
                .matcher(exp)
                .replaceAll(gr -> "911" + gr.group(1) + "911");

        
        System.out.println(exp);        
    }

expecting : foo911foo911barfoo

actually
resulted : 911foo911barfoo
(Because replaceAll applied the replacement string to all matches, namely the groups gr.group(0) (foo foo bar foo) and gr.group(1) (foo bar foo). And it is necessary to replace only gr.group(1), without gr.group(0)).

How to select a specific group to replace in a string from a regular expression.

Please tell me how it is done correctly. Thank a lot in advance!

>Solution :

You need to capture the first foo, too:

exp = Pattern
                .compile("(foo)(foo)")
                .matcher(exp)
                .replaceAll(gr -> gr.group(1) + "911" + gr.group(2) + "911");

See the Java demo online.

Since there are two capturing groups now – (foo)(foo) – there are now two gr.group()s in the replacement: gr.group(1) + "911" + gr.group(2) + "911".
