Question

The string I need to write over TCP connection has \n and \r characters. These characters are printing as \\n and \\r. How can I solve this?

String myLine = "this is first line\r this is second line\r third line";
outputStream.write(myLine);

Result:

this is first line\\r this is second line\\r third line

But I need to write result same as myLine(with only 1 escape sequence charecter) value.

Have you tried escaping it?

"this is first line\\\\r this is second line\\\\r third line"
