how can i remove newline characters and tabs

[justride]

I am usign jdk 1.5 I hear removAll shoudld do the trick.

I have a string buffer of xml

buf.append("NAME |\n");
        buf.append("ID |\n");
        buf.append("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\" ?>\n"); 
        buf.append("<xml>\n"); 
        buf.append("</xml>\n");

if i do ...

        String s = buf.toString();
        s.replaceAll("\n","");
        s.replaceAll("\t","");

the newline characters, tabs do not dissapear

        String s = buf.toString();
        s.replaceAll("\\n","");
        s.replaceAll("\\t","");

that does not work either, according to the debugger

From the javadocs:

public String replaceAll(String regex,
String replacement)

Replaces each substring of this string that matches the given regular expression with the given replacement.
...
Returns:
The resulting String
[\quote]
Special concentration should be spend on the term 'returns', remembering Strings are immutable.

s = s.replaceAll("\\n","");
s = s.replaceAll("\\t","");
