Description

The following code shows how to strip Line Breaks.

Example


//from  w w  w .  j a v a  2 s . c  om
/**
 * Contains various unorganized static utility methods used across Cayenne.
 * 
 * @author Andrei Adamchik
 */
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] argv){
  System.out.println(stripLineBreaks("java2s.com\n\n\n\n", "abc"));
}
  /**
   * Strips "\n", "\r\n", "\r" from the argument string.
   * 
   * @since 1.2
   */
  public static String stripLineBreaks(String string, String replaceWith) {

    int len = string.length();
    StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer(len);
    for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
      char c = string.charAt(i);

      // skip \n, \r, \r\n
      switch (c) {
      case '\n':
      case '\r': // do lookahead
        if (i + 1 < len && string.charAt(i + 1) == '\n') {
          i++;
        }

        buffer.append(replaceWith);
        break;
      default:
        buffer.append(c);
      }
    }

    return buffer.toString();
  }
}
