Find and replace an ampersand...

807605Aug 30 2007 — edited Aug 31 2007
I am encoding special characters in my HTML

i.e.

replacing & with &

and � with &pound etc.

I have managed to find and replace all of the using

String.replaceAll('xx'xx');

However how do i do the ampersand? If i replace all instances of & with & its going to match £ and other & How do i get it to only change & only and none of the html entities that have already been replaced previously?
