Java Programming

I am importing a file into the database... the file is written by a client using windows, and it is a text file.

When there is a windows new line character at the end of the line (^M), it is getting saved to the database as part of the string value.

When we parse this data to run a report, the (^M) are being written back out to the file and causing the fields and data not to line up.

We want to REPLACE the ^M with some other character (whatever it doesn't matter)... how can java do that???

We tried replacing '/n' with '###' and it will show the ###, but the line still breaks.

TIA,
Tonya
