That worked perfectly. Why is the question mark there?

@see java.util.regex.Pattern
It means \r is optional.

So this will work for windows or unix styles. To also handle the old styles of \r only... i.e., to transform files from any platform this should work: String comments = aListing.additionalComments().replaceAll("(\r?\n?) {1,2}+", "\\\\n")

Hmm.. this isn't going to do what you think.

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

Neither is this.

You probably want something like this:

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