  • @GurwinderSingh This is NOT a duplicate of the Q and A suggested in these comments. This specifically asks how to only remove line breaks *within quotes*. This is actually harder than it seems. (For instance, there may be escaped quotes inside a quoted part.) – Klitos Kyriacou Dec 21 '16 at 11:48
  • If your file is in fact a CSV file, then have a look for a CSV reader API for Java. There are several you can download, but I don't know which ones are good. – Klitos Kyriacou Dec 21 '16 at 12:26

You just can use the String method replace(): str.replace("\"[\s\S]*\n[\s\S]*\""", "")
