Stripping Out Carriage Returns

[Steve Dyke]

Why would the following code not take out the carriage returns and line feeds?

descptn = rs.getString("descrip").replaceAll("\r\n"," ").trim();

Are you not asking it to replace only where there is a carriage return followed by a line break (plus I think you will need to escape the regex escape character)?

This does it I think:

replaceAll("[\\r]*[\\n]*","")

Or perhaps

str.replaceAll("[\\r\\n]+", "");
