In my GUI application, I have a JTextArea. I type the following

testone
testtwo

Now I do a getText() but I want to get rid of the newline between
testone and testtwo from the returned string. I did the following but
it doesn't work. If I print descrip after replaceAll, it still prints
in two lines.

String descrip = descrip_field.getText();
descrip.replaceAll("\n", "");

Strings are immutable objects. You should be using the String that is
returned as the result of the replaceAll call.

I used the returned string and it worked.
