How to remove line breaks when using Regex Pattern.compile

Question

I'm trying to extract some information from HTML that is surrounded by tags on the line above and the line below. When I run the regex pattern.compile the end result returns the string I want, but also the white space before and after, which I don't want.

Can anyone help me find a way to get rid of the line breaks and return an Array of just string seperated by ", "?

Here's my HTML:

<div class="name">
                        Jonna Lundell
                    </div>

Here's my Java code: Where result is the string of HTML text.

html = result;

    Pattern p = Pattern.compile("<div class=\"name\">(.+?)</div>", Pattern.DOTALL);
    Matcher m = p.matcher(html);

    while (m.find()) {
        nameList.add(m.group(1));}

Log.i("Names ", String.valueOf(nameList));

Which returns:

I/Names: [
                            Name 1
                        , 
                            Name 2
                        , 
                            Name 3
                        , 
                            Name 4
                        , 
                            Name 5
                        , 
                            Name 6
                        ]

Use the trim() method:

while (m.find()) {
    nameList.add(m.group(1).trim());
}
