Removing new line character in jdk 1.2

I am currently using replaceAll("\n", "") to remove new line characters in an string. But this works only for 1.4 version, I know need to have this work on 1.2 and 1.3.
Is there an alternate method that I can use?

If the string come from a file that's in the native text format for that platform, then replaceAll(System.getProperty("line.separator", "") will work.
This won't work, however, if you, say, create a text file on windows and the read it on Unix without translating the EOL characters.
If you can't be certain that the file is in the format that matches the current platform, three options pop to mind:
* Run over the String, char by char, copying all chars to a new String except \r and \n.
* Use two replaceAll calls--one with \r and one with \n.
* Dump the String into a StringReader, then wrap the StringReader in a BufferedReader. Call readLine() on the BufferedReader in a loop, concatenating the results in a StringBuffer as you go.

  • How to remove new line character from query output?

    Hi,
    How to remove new line character from query output?
    have tried select replace(column_name, CHR(10), ' ') from table_name.
    Edited by: GreenHorn on Sep 11, 2008 12:53 AM

    Please consider, that windows uses a sequence of chr13||chr(10) Unix uses only one character chr(10).
    The new line character(s) may be OS-dependent.
    You could consider both with:
    replace(replace(column_name, CHR(13)||CHR(10), ' '),CHR(10),' ')

  • Removing New Line Character in Input file

    Hi Experts,
    I Have a question about "New Line Character". I searched in SDN before posting this thread, But I didn't get answer.
    Question:
    Let me say my Client requirement first. After loading the data(Millions of Records) into SAP through LSMW, they asked write a program for validation of those loaded records based on I/P file. I wrote a program and It is success full.
    But, the problem is when file is in Application server in 'BIN' format, a new line character(#) is created. While comparing the last record of each line, it doesn't match. How to remove this new line character(#) in I/P file for each line of record? Please see the below records for example
    PROVINCIA DE BUENOS AIRE|   |1870|AR| #
    PROVINCIA DE BUENOS AIRE|   |1876|AR| #
    BOX 7407 PRINCETON|   |085437407|US|NJ#
    5756 2 A   CAPITAL FEDERAL|   |1431|AR|00#
    Note: This New line character is not matching the string "#".
    Please help me guys, so many objects are related with this concept. I appreciate quick response. Please.
    Thanks

    Hi Arun, Ravi,
    I wrote the code like this, here 'fil_curre' is currency key.
    IF <l_wa_file_data>-fil_curre CS cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline.
              REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF REGEX cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline
                                            IN <l_wa_file_data>-fil_curre WITH ''.
            ENDIF.
    While executing the code, the cursor here, simply jumps to next step.
    Any enhancements to this code or any new ideas?

  • New-line character in stacked message pop-up

    I have run into a brick wall with this situation--
    Our clients are running Client/Server Forms 6i, and Web Forms 6i using Patch 10. They are about to upgrade web forms to the latest version 9.0.4.1.0 (10g).
    We have a few PLL routines that use the stacked message method:    Message('text here'); Message('  ',no_acknowledge);to display important error messages to the user. It is especially useful to display the multiple ORA- errors when an unexpected server error occurs.
    Throughout all versions of Client/Server forms, and even in our old version of Web forms, I can use chr(10) or another character to start each error message on a new line.
    Somewhere after Patch 10, Oracle has removed that capability. Instead, pop-up stacked messages word-wrap into a multi-line message, and display the new-line character as a box indicating an unprintable character. Our nicely formatted messages are a mess!
    I have been told I should use an alert, which supports chr(10) as the new line. However, this is a PLL routine, and I would have to create an alert in hundreds of forms just to accommodate this short-sightedness. The changes and subsequent testing and release issues make this an unworkable solution.
    I am clueless as to why this feature would be removed. Oracle support is treating it as an enhancement request. Any ideas?

    Steve,
    If you really have hundreeds of forms ... create one more - to display your messages. Make it modal and nice looking. Call it through the library. Design it to work both as [OK] message and as an users responce [Yes]/[No]/[Cancel].
    And honestly - I don't think message(); message() is the best way to display messages. Whoever designed the application should've think about alerts with standartized naming convention, so they can be handled easily through the PLL.

  • New line character in File adapter

    I am having a receiver file adapter which generates files with multiple lines.
    My problem is when the target file is opened in notepad there is no line break and the lines comes as continous string with small rectangle as separator.This fails the target upload program.
    When I remove those small squares in notepad and hit enter and then upload it gets uploaded successfully.
    Is there any way to have line break so that new line will be generated each time (the documenation says the by-default it adds new line character then why in notepad it opens like a continous string?)
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Rajeev

    Hello
    I know by default File Adapter value is line break. But if I open that generated file in notepad, the record does'nt appear on the new line. Instead at the end of each line there is special character added at the end of each record. When I hit enter and deletes that special character and then try to load that file it gets loaded successfully.
    So my problem is how to generate the file will give record on the new line. I tried to give 'nl' as endSeparator.
    How to give hexadecimal values? I tried giving '0xHH' but that gives error in File Adapter
    "Error: Conversion initialization failed: Exception: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "HH"
    Thanks in advance.

  • Regexp_substr to exclude new line character

    I have a varchar2 field that stores new line character at the end of the char string . How do I extract just the char string and not the new line character using regexp_substr ?
    Thanks
    Billu

    Hi,
    Assuming the newline character is CHR (10),
    RTRIM (string, CHR (10))returns a copy of string with the newline (if any) removed from the end. This is more efficeint that regular expressions.
    If you really want to use regular expressions anyway, REGEXP_REPLACE is sometimes easier to use than REGEXP_SUBSTR.
    REGEXP_REPLACE ( string
                , CHR (10) || '*$'
                )does the same thing as the RTRIM expression above. Omit the * if you want to remove only 1 newline from the end.

    Hi All,

    You are calling the readline() only once which means you are reading only the first line from the file...
    Use a loop (Do-While preferably)
    do{
    //your code
    }while(text == "")

  • New line character and carriage return in XML, please help, thanks

    In XML, "&#10;" is only the new line character. I have tried that. If you put that in your XML, for example:
    <tag>line1&#10;line2&#10;line3</tag>
    You will get the output as follow:
    line1
    ____line2
    ________line3
    (where ___ represents space)
    The output that I want is actually like:
    line1
    line2
    line3
    So I would like to ask how I can do this.
    Thanks,
    Jackie

    while parsing your XML file you can directly suppress these newline and similar things in characters() method of SAX parser.
    you can opt to do nothing when you encounter them else if it is normal character then use it to print it.

  • Problem with CDATA and new line character

    I parse a xml document with org.w3c.dom, the document contain a CDATA section in which there are more lines of text, each line is terminated with the new line character (\n).
    Example:
    <nota>
    <[CDATA[
    first line
    second line
    third line
    ]]>
    </nota>
    When a parse this node:
    Text txt_nota=(Text)elm_nota.getFirstChild();
    String nota=txt_nota.getData();
    the value returned is one string with no new line characters, example:
    "first linesecond linethird line"
    what's wrong?

    Because i use the string nota into a jsp page and i print the string nota into a textarea and the text is with no newline, example:
    <textarea name="nota" rows="4" cols="60"><%= nota %></textarea>
    the text into textarea is:
    first linesecond linethird line
    but i want that the text displayed into textarea is equal the text into the CDATA section:
    first line
    second line
    third line

  • Need help in how to print new line character in unix using java

    Hi All,
    I use the printstream class to print some line in a text using java.
    here is the code:
       FileOutputStream out; // declare a file output object
            PrintStream p; // declare a print stream object
                    p.print("\t");
                    p.print(date);
                    p.print("\t\t");
                    p.print(RecCount);
                    p.println("\n");when i use this and output of this character in windows is
    date RecCount
    22-07-2007 23456
    when i use the same code in unix it shows the following output:
    date RecCount[]22-07-2007
    it wont accept the new line character could any one give me an idea to solve this problem.

    PrintStream has a println() method. Use that. Or System.getProperty("line.separator").
    Because a newline char doesn't necessarily specify a line break. It's system-dependent.

  • How to insert new line character?

    Hi all,
    I have two lines to print.
    out.println("Available number of columns="+cols);
    out.println("Number of columns must be present=10");My problem is:
    i want both the lines to be printed one below the other. But, it is displayed in one single line.....
    Can anyone please tell me how to insert new line character?
    I tried with \n, '\n' and \r\n but, in vain......
    Thanks for your time.
    Regards,
    Ashvini

    You should never use "\n" directly.
    The line separator character is different on different operating systems.
    And putting quotes around it in your string will make absolutely no difference in the JSP.
    To find out what the line separator is you should use System.getProperty("line.separator");
    The JSPWriter and PrintWriter classes will automatically use this property with a println statement, so a println will always finish with a line separator.
    The issue here was that HTML by default ignores all whitespace.
    The solutions provided
    - use a <br> tag instead of a carriage return
    - use <pre> tags, which tells the browser not to ignore whitespace. That can be troublesome in JSP which generates a lot of extraneous carriage returns into the code.

  • ADF: how to insert new line character in column of VO?

    Hi Everyone,
    Im using Jdev 11G.
    i have a VO with 5 columns displayed on the ADF page.(VO has total 8 columns)
    1 column is the combination of 3 columns. i concatenated the 3 columns and added new line character after each column chr(13).
    VO query is working very fine in Toad. the columnn displays each concatenated column value after a new line character but the same query is not working in ADF.
    The column which is concatenating 3 columns and has to display with new line character is not displaying new line character its just concatenating the 3 values and displaying it on the page.
    wat can be the solution for this in ADF?
    Thank you.

    Setting escape="false" will allow putting html <BR> in the column and it will display ok however if your table allows export to excel the <BR> gets exported and displays as text in your exported file. Also & will export as &amp; To prevent that, use your original text without the escape=false setting and insert LF or CR (10 or 13 character), then add inline style of white-space: pre-line; to column or to style class in your skin. That will cause all line feeds to wrap but will export to excel without mixing html in the export.

  • New line character in cipher text?

    Friends,
    I am encrypting a text in Triple DES/CBC mode/Nopadding mode. the length of text is 6500 bytes. in the cipher text that i get, it has new-line character(\n) & carriage return characters. As a result of this i m unable to read the cipher text from a C program(as it is not fully reading the cipher text). is there any methodology to overcome this problem. is there any way to avoid the new-line & carriage return characters in cipher text.
    Also is there any criteria like, the plaintext can be only max of this much bytes?
    Thanks in Advance

    The result of your encryption is bytes and not characters so your C program should process it as bytes and not as characters then bytes '\r' and '\n' will not be interpretted.
    It would be interresting to see your C code.
