json string error

Replace newline in caption with \n.

"TRADE_LAYOUT":{
      "fields":{
         "10021/INOPS-RAF +MONEY/INDIA":{           
            "id":"1160GB0421/UKOPS-FX INTERBANK PROC+INVEST/EMEA",           
            "order":7,
            "caption":"10021\nINOPS-RAF +MONEY\nINDIA",            
          "fields":"[object Object],[object Object]"
         }

Select allOpen in new window

but i am already doing '\n' on my java side and passing the json string to UI
like this
My java code

JSONObject myson = new JSONObject();
myson.put(CAPTION, returnFormatedName(name));      
...

public String returnFormatedName(String name){
            String code = "";
            String aligner = "                          ";
            StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(name,"/");
            StringBuffer codeText = new StringBuffer();      
            while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {                  
                  code = st.nextToken()+aligner;
                  codeText .append(code).append("\n");                   
           }
            return codeText .toString(); // caption would contain \n
      }

and that is why i a am getting the caption in seperate line like this
"caption":"10021                          
            INOPS-RAF +MONEY                          
            INDIA                          
            ",      

but when i validate my json it fails. any idea what i am missing?

thanks

In your java side, you should put \\n instead of \n.

Ok will try that.. Can u plz tell me what is the difference between \\n and Single slash n
Thanks

\n is an escaped newline.
\\n is an escaped of above one, escaped of escaped newline.

You need the escaped newline in your Java to print a new line, but you need the latter to print the escaped newline.

thanks

but when i use
 while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {                  
                  code = st.nextToken();
                  codeText .append(code).append("\\n");            
     }

its displaying like this in the UI
10021\nINOPS-RAF +MONEY\nINDIA  but i want the next line like this

10021
INOPS-RAF +MONEY
INDIA




but in the UI its not displaying in next line. It displays as
                   

any idea what i am doing wrong

actually i am using Flex on the UI ( sorry forgot to say that)
so <br> isnt working correctly, i am seeing
10021<br>INOPS-RAF +MONEY<br>INDIA  

i know '\n' works fine with flex. any idea how i can make it work with flex

thanks

If use \\n, what does it look like?

if i use \\n
it looks like

10021\nINOPS-RAF +MONEY\nINDIA  

any idea how i can make it work with 'text' only ?
I have the freedom to change the java code only..cant change the flex side

thanks

I am actually using that json data to disply on a flex UI..so whats happening is the slashes are getting displayed as is.

What happened when you tried my suggestion?
