This is entirely untested but maybe:

String comments = aListing.additionalComments().replaceAll("\\n", "\\\n");

Please let me know how it goes.

Subject: Frontbase CLOB newline problem


I am trying to print out a text document with data from a CLOB in Frontbase. In my code, I get the data and set it to a string value. What I want to do is get rid of all line breaks and carriage returns. So here is what I have tried and the results that follow:

String comments = aListing.additionalComments().replaceAll("\n", "\\n");

result:
Testing the new line
n
ncarriage return replace method
n
nfor the text download.


next:
String comments = aListing.additionalComments().replaceAll("\r", "\\n");

result:
Testing the new linen
n
carriage return replace methodn
n
for the text download.

from this I decided it might have both carriage returns and line breaks so ...
String comments = aListing.additionalComments().replaceAll("\n", "\\n");
comments = aListing.additionalComments().replaceAll("\r", "\\n");

result:
Testing the new linen
n
carriage return replace methodn
n
for the text download.


I want the result to be:
Testing the new line\ncarriage return replace method\nfor the text download

Can anybody give me a hint please?

Thanks,
Awbrey
