replace string with regex

Question

There is piece of code that replaces the C/o,d/o,s/o or w/o as below :

if (temp.contains(",,"))
    {
        temp=temp.replace ("C/O,,","");
        temp=temp.replace ("S/O,,","");
        temp=temp.replace ("D/O,,","");
        temp=temp.replace ("W/O,,","");
    }

But i want to replace above by regex so that it automatically removes C or S or D or W if there is a char sequence ",," I am not able to get what regex can be used . Please help.

You mean this?

temp=temp.replaceAll("[SDWC]/O,,","");

For case-insensitive match,

temp=temp.replaceAll("(?i)[SDWC]/O,,","");
