The short answer is that you can't.

Strings are immutable, so you can't change their contents.

You can call methods on the String object that produce the result you want and then rearrange your String reference to point to the output.

Enter key could be a character sequence of \n\r or just \n.

So first obtain the index of the character sequence i.e. \n\r or \n, using the indexOf() method on your string. Then create a string buffer

StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(String str);

After this use the delete function on the string ubffer to delete the character sequence and the convert this back to a String using the toString() method on the string buffer.

use String's replace(char oldChar, char newChar) method to create the new String, if you are going to replace it by a char.

Or

oldString = oldString.replaceAll("\\n|\\r", " ");
