Are you sure you don't mean
String comments = aListing.additionalComments().replaceAll("\n", "\ \n");
comments = comments.replaceAll("\r", "\\n");

But this would leave you with double "\n"'s in your output.  Maybe try
String comments = aListing.additionalComments().replaceAll("\r\n", "\n");
comments = comments.replaceAll("\n", "\\n");

This is probably the simplest solution and should work fine provided you don't have any input with just \r's.



This got me closer

returned value in the .txt document is:

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

ncarriage return replace method

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

result:
Testing the new linen

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
