Check if string contains \n Java

Question

How do I check if string contains \\n or new line character ?

word.contains(\"\\\\n\")
word.contains(\"\\n\")

Answer 1

For portability, you really should do something like this:

public static final String NEW_LINE = System.getProperty("line.separator")
.
.
.
word.contains(NEW_LINE);

unless you're absolutely certain that "\n" is what you want.
