How to catch \n in a string.

[chags]

In a string i want to replace '\n'(next line) to ' '(space). So I tried the following code but it not even identifing '\n'
Code:
String test = "sending data \n to excell \n";
test.replace('\n',' ');

If anyone knows how to catch \n in a string please help me.

Hi,

It did identify '\n'

The reason why is isn't working is because the method replace() doesn't change the String. It returns a String with the changed value instead.

So this would work:-

String test = "sending data \n to excell \n";
test = test.replace('\n',' ');
