Replace new Line Character by \n in Java

General

Hello Everyone, I am facing some issues while I’m coding an IDE. Let’s say I have the Hello, World Pascal program on a string:

String sourceCode = "program Hello;\nbegin\nwriteln ('Hello, world.');\nend.";

If I do System.out.println(sourceCode); the output shows:

program Hello;
begin
writeln ('Hello, world.');
end.

reat, but I want to show new lines as \n . I tried:

sourceCode = sourceCode.replaceAll(System.lineSeparator(), "\\n");

But then System.out.println(sourceCode); outputs:

program Hello;nbeginnwriteln ('Hello, world.');nend.

How can I achieve that? Full demo:

public class PrintPascalHelloWorld {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String sourceCode = "program Hello;\nbegin\nwriteln ('Hello, world.');\nend.";
        System.out.println(sourceCode);
        sourceCode = sourceCode.replaceAll(System.lineSeparator(), "\\n");
        System.out.println(sourceCode);
    }
}

Can anyone suggest me? I’m able to compile and run the program using by interviewbit online compiler.
