replace \n and \r\n with <br /> in java
- by Bala R
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 long string.";
And I'm trying to replace the \n with <br /> using
str = str.replaceAll("(\r\n|\n)", "<br />");
but the \n is not getting replaced.
I tried to use this RegEx Tool to verify and I see the same result. The input string does not have a match for "(\r\n|\n)". What am i doing wrong ?
