Replacing return character problem

Question

Hello all
I have to replace a paragraph sign (return character) in a text doc I have to import.
In the text doc, the sign looks like a square.
When copied to MSWord, it appears as a paragraph sign, and act as one.
Questions:
Is it a paragraph sign?
How do I represent this sign in Java to replace it by using StringTokenizer?
Can I also use indexOf() method to do it?
I tried using ("\r"), but it was unsuccessfull.
Any other ideas?
Please help!
Regards
Jaco

when you have your text printed in NotePad for example,
return character is not \r but \r\n (return carriage + new line)
try to print all the ASCII codes using the code :
public class Test {
private static void printCodes(String p_text) {
for(int i=0;i<p_text.length();i++) {
System.out.println("char "+p_text.charAt(i)+" : "+(int) p_text.charAt(i));
public static void main(String [] args) {
printCodes("some text here\r\n and there.");
