Replace carriage return into <BR>?

Is there any easiest way to replace any carriage return in a String into "<BR>" when formatting the output to HTML?

I know there is a method of String called "replaceAll" but seems only available since JDK 1.4

There maybe an easier way but this'll do it just as well...

Code:

---

public static String replaceAll(String theString, String oldString, String newString)
{
        String a;
        String b;

        int index = theString.indexOf(oldString);
       
        while(index != -1)
        {
                a = theString.substring(0, index);
                b = theString.substring(index + oldString.length());
               
                theString = a + newString + b;
                index = theString.indexOf(oldString);
        }
       
        return theString;
}
