Replace substring from string

Question

I have a String userId:344556\\ncustomerId:233 .

I want to replace the substring \\n with new line. So i tried

String more = strmoreInfo.replace("\\n", "\n");

My desired output is:

userId:344556
customerId:233

But my current output is:

userId:344556\
customerId:233

What am I doing wrong?

'\' is an escape character. You'll want to change the statement to:

String more = strmoreInfo.replace("\\\\n", "\n");

Simply put a space e.g "< SPACE >\n" in second argument of replace method.

String more = strmoreInfo.replace("\\n", " \n");
