Which data type should I use?

Hi guys,
I am currently writing a web application that involves a section where users can submit code.
I was just wondering if anyone had any idea which data type/object I should use to store the code after it's submitted from the form? I will need to go write a loop to change " into \" so it can be stored in the database too, so something that would enable me to access each character is needed.
Thanks!

Check out the last post (mine) in this thread over in Servlets:

Basically, you don't need to worry about encoding the special characters (like & or ; or ") in a String when it is sent to your web application.

I've modified the code that I wrote back for that other thread:

HTML FORM
SERVLET (mapped to /encTest)
OUTPUTBasically, it doesn't look right on the *viewed* web page, because \n at the end of the lines doesn't equate to <br>'s in HTML. But otherwise, all special chars turn out ok.

Thanks a lot, that's really helpful!
