  I am attempting to compare characters within a String() variable
against the new line character. This is a sample of what I have:

String  Text = "this\nthat";

for (int i=0; i<Text.Length(); i++)
{
 if ( Text.charAt(i) == '\n' )
  System.out.println("Debug: Matches");
}

  The problem is.. that the if statement comes up true on EVERY
character. Any help welcome on how to make this work.

-- Thanks
