No, I am printing it out to a text document available for download as
in example.txt and I don't want any line breaks in the document. I
want the special characters to be present though. I know how to write
the special characters to the document with "\\n" where it explicitly
prints the \ character plus an 'n'.
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.
Get rid of them or show them as something else or convert them to
HTML line breaks?
So here is what I have tried and the results that follow:
String comments = aListing.additionalComments().replaceAll("\n", "\
\n");
I think I see what you are trying to do, but that does not make
much sense. "\n" is a special character. "\" "n" are two normal
characters that will not get converted back into line breaks. You
might also be seeing some logging weirdness.
So, really, where are you going with this?

When I do a access the information in the database, I assign
everything from the CLOB to a string value. Without any adjustments
to this information, it prints out to the example.txt document with
multiple line breaks where I want there to be only the explicit
characters '\n' in the .txt file. The file is set up as a download
from the site which I have working just fine. The formatting of the
text (if you will) in the .txt document is what I am having trouble
with.
result:
Testing the new line

ncarriage return replace method

nfor the text download.
next:
String comments = aListing.additionalComments().replaceAll("\r", "\
\n");
result:
Testing the new linen
n

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
