replace \n and \r\n with in java

Question

This has been asked several times for several languages but I can\'t get it to work. I have a string like this

String str = \"This is a string.\\nThis is a l         


        

Answer 1

It works for me. The Java code works exactly as you wrote it. In the tester, the input string should be:

This is a string.
This is a long string.

...with a real linefeed. You can't use:

This is a string.\nThis is a long string.

...because it treats \n as the literal sequence backslash 'n'.
