Java example

// Insert data into a string
boolean fCynical = true;
     
// create a new Text object, and reference the CharacterData interface
CharacterData ndCD = doc.createTextNode("The truth is out there.");
     
...
     
// check for cynicism
if (fCynical) {
    ndCD.insertData(12, " not");
}
     
System.out.println(ndCD.getData( ));
