problem in using ' \n'

String content=request.getParameter("content");

/*

i'm retreving the contents of a textarea in a string named content. What happens is if i type a line in the textarea and press enter and keep typing by giving 2 to 3 enter key.

I'm adding these contents in to the database. The problem is ,only the first line is getting added in to the database.ie the remaining contents after the enter key pressed is not appened to the database.how should i remove the line feed.ie..how should i find '\n' and bring the contents in to a single line so that the whole content is appened to the database without the line feed */
