How to create a String with containing escape sequences in java without using StringEscapeUtils Class?

I want to store "~ s/\n|\s+|.*?=|;//g;" in a string variable.

Can anyone help me in this. Thanks in advance.

You have to replace \ by \\ in a Java String literal. See https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/regex/literals.html (at the bottom).

That is

String regExp = "~ s/\\n|\s+|.*?=|;//g;";

should work.
