Replace carriage return into <BR>?

[dereklyw]

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...

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;
}
