B4J Question [Solved]replacing a literal \n by something else

[alwaysbusy]

I've been searching a way to replace all literal \n occurrences by something else and it is driving me nuts all morning. note: It needs to be done in java (for a library), not B4J

Private NativeMe As JavaObject
NativeMe = Me
Dim s As String = NativeMe.RunMethod("test", Array As String("this \n is a test"))
Log(s)

public String test(String s) {
    return s.replaceAll("\\n", "ABA");
}

Result: this \n is a test

Expected: this ABA is a test

Same happens in pure java in my library.

Sub AppStart (Args() As String)
   Private NativeMe As JavaObject
   NativeMe = Me
   Dim s As String = NativeMe.RunMethod("test", Array As String("this \n is a test"))
   Log(s)
   
End Sub



#if java
public static String test(String s) {
    return s.replaceAll("\\\\n", "ABA");
}
#end if

Second option:

#if java
public static String test(String s) {
    return s.replaceAll("\\Q\\n\\E", "ABA");
}
#end if

Thanks Erel, pretty sure this is the only backslash combination I haven't tried...

The second option is actually simpler as it doesn't require escaping the \n three times.
