Check For Line Feed

Question

hi again, im trying to check for a line feed character in an xml file.
im using the following code:
NodeList nodeList = ElementNode.getChildNodes();
for(int i = 0; i < nodeList.getLength(); i++) {
                    if(nodeList.item(i).getNodeValue().equals("\n")) {
                         System.out.println("Line Feed!");
                    }else
                         System.out.println(nodeList.item(i).getNodeName());
               }For some reason it never prints out "Line Feed!"
i used a transformer object to indent my xml like so,
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
               transformer.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "4");so im wondering why am i not picking up the line feeds?
many thanks

Answer 1

ive found out what the line feed character is, but when im trying to read back in my xml,
i have it indented to 4 places (see above), this will no doubt add 4 white spaces to different parts of the xml, as well as new line characters.does it also add carriage returns?this is causing me problems reading back in.Is there any classes i can use to remove all the white spaces, new line characters etc.. so i can just get at the xml content (elements, CDATA, comments etc..)?
many thanks!
