How to remove Escape sequence from String?

There are many ways to remove escape sequence from bulky string, specially I like to use RegEx from java side.

public class Test {

 public static void main(String[] args) {

  String s = "\n\n\tabcdtest";

  String result = new Test().removeEscapeChars(s);

  System.out.println("RESULT::"+result);

 }





 private String removeEscapeChars(String finalString) {

        Matcher matcher = Pattern.compile("\\&([^;]{6})", Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE).matcher(finalString);


        while (matcher.find()) {

            String before = finalString.substring(0, matcher.start());

            String after = finalString.substring(matcher.start() + 1);

            finalString = (before + after);

        }

        return finalString;

    }

}
