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

str  = str.replaceAll("(\r\n)", "
");
str  = str.replaceAll("(\n)", "
");

Disclaimer: this is not very efficient.
