Remove multiple linebreaks

Question

How can I remove multiple linebreaks from a string so I only get one linebreak if any. For example I have a string with "\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n", how can I turn that into a single '\n' ?

Answer 1

You could use:

myString = myString.replaceAll("[\r\n]+", "\n");

Answer 2

In Android I managed to remove more than 2 line breaks with this

textPiece = textPiece.replaceAll("\n\n\n+", "\n\n");
