Split function not working as desired

Hi All,
I am using split function and new line character to split the long text area field and show them in different lines. It is working fine but it is also adding parentheses around every text in new line. I don't want them to add parentheses around every text. Below is my code.

rEntry.Publisher_URLs__c += ' ' + rC.publisher_Site_Placement_URL__r.Name.split('\n') + ';';

Output:
(sportsgroundgames.com); (womenshealthbase.com); (wwe.com);

Desired Output:
sportsgroundgames.com; womenshealthbase.com; wwe.com;

Can someone help me in removing parentheses. Thanks is advance.

Hi sml9099,

I have tested that code in my org's developer console, it's working perfect.

do one thing add replaceAll method after splitting
//Keep old code as it is rEntry.Publisher_URLs__c += ' ' + rC.publisher_Site_Placement_URL__r.Name.split('\n') + ';'; //You just add below line after your loop where you want to see out put rEntry.Publisher_URLs__c = rEntry.Publisher_URLs__c.replaceAll('[\\()]', '')
Best Regards,
Mithun.

Hi sml9099,

Use replaceAll method.

rEntry.Publisher_URLs__c += ' ' + rC.publisher_Site_Placement_URL__r.Name.split('\n').replaceAll("\\(", "").replaceAll("\\)","") + ';';

Hi Mithun,

Thanks for your reply. I used the above and I am getting this error.

Compile Error: line 29:97 no viable alternative at character '"' at line 29 column 97.

Then I replaced double qoutes with single quotes , it is still not working. Please Advice.

Thanks

This is the code I used with single quotes.
rEntry.Publisher_URLs__c += ' ' + rC.publisher_Site_Placement_URL__r.Name.split('\n').replaceAll('\\(', '').replaceAll('\\)','') + ';';

and below is the error.

Compile Error: Method does not exist or incorrect signature: [List<String>].replaceAll(String, String) at line 29 column 87

Your help will be highly aprreciated.

Thanks
