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.
You're right. This will though
String comments = aListing.additionalComments().replaceAll("[\\r\\n]
{1,2}+", "\\\\n");
or more boringly:
String comments = aListing.additionalComments().replaceAll("\r",
"").replaceAll("\n", "\\\\n");
Neither is this.
Right again :-) Serves me right for speaking so quickly :-)
String comments = aListing.additionalComments().replaceAll("\r\n",
"\n").replaceAll("\r", "\n").replaceAll("\n", "\\\\n");
It is enough to make a person want to write a formatter. :-)
But I still wonder what someone is going to do with a text file with
special characters replaced with normal ones...
