How to get rid of the '\n' character while reading string from xsl?

Question

I'm reading xsl file using XSLReader class, and one of the columns contains strings but sometimes this string have enter in the (\n), so when I read this and print it I'm printing the string with the \n:

those are two addresses, the first one have enter in the xsl string, and the second doesn't...

VIALE SALVATORE REBECCHINI 39 \n00148 ROMA RM\n

viale castello della maglina,65-00148 roma 

someone suggested some solution but it didnt work, i had to import common-lang3 and it looks like this:

this.supplierAddress = StringEscapeUtils.escapeJava(info[19]);

it suppose to ignore the \n but it dosen't..

anyone?

thanks!

Answer 1

Did you try with :

replaceAll("\\n","")

And escapeJava() is not what you need, you need is unescapeJava() but like it says in the javadoc :

Unescapes any Java literals found in the String. For example, it will turn a sequence of '\' and 'n' into a newline character, unless the '\' is preceded by another '\'.
