    // Main method
    def main(args:Array[String])
    {
      
        // Applying replaceFirst method
        val result = "csoNidhimsoSingh".replaceFirst(".so", "##")
          
        // Displays output
        println(result)
      
    }
} 
 
 
Output:

Example #2:




// Scala program of replaceFirst()
// method
  
// Creating object
object GfG
{ 
  
    // Main method
    def main(args:Array[String])
    {
      
        // Applying replaceFirst method
        val result = "NidhimsoSinghcso".replaceFirst(".so", "*")
          
        // Displays output
        println(result)
      
    }
} 
 
 
Output:
  Nidhi*Singhcso  

Example #3:




// Scala program of replaceFirst()
// method
  
// Creating object
object GfG
{ 
  
    // Main method
    def main(args:Array[String])
    {
      
        // Applying replaceFirst method
        val result = "fsoNidhimsoSinghcso".replaceFirst(".so", "*")
