Print raw string in java [duplicate]

Question

Say I have a string like this:

String message = "Hi \n Prakash";

I want to print messsage exactly the way it is rather than printing a newline for \n. So the desired output is:

Hi \n Prakash

and not

Hi
 Prakash

Please note that we are not allowed to modify the string message. How do I do this?

Edit: I've used \n just as an example. There could be similar characters like \t which could possibly be in my string.

Answer 1

This can be done with the help of StringEscapeUtils class from Apache Commons Text.

import org.apache.commons.lang3.StringEscapeUtils;

String message = "Hi \n Prakash";
System.out.println(StringEscapeUtils.escapeJava(message));

The output is:

Hi \n Prakash
