</div>

```auto
"MethodParameter" => "{\r\n \"getCardholderBalance\": {\r\n \"acquirer\": {\r\n      
\"id\": \"testdemo\",\r\n \"userId\": \"xxxxx\",\r\n \"password\": 
\"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\"\r\n },\r\n \"card\": {\r\n \"number\": 
\"5559590230901005\",\r\n \"referenceId\": \"394849349098\"\r\n },\r\n    
\"description\": \"YES\",\r\n \"includeSupplementaryCards\": \"Y\",\r\n    
\"sendClearCard\": \"Y\",\r\n \"applyFee\": \"N\",\r\n \"isForcedPost\": \"Y\"\r\n }\r\n}"

```

I want to escape \r\n and \ in the above string. Can you please help me how I can do this task?

```auto
mutate{
        gsub => ["MethodParameter", "\\r\\n ", ""]
}

```

I have tried this but it doing nothing.

Issue Resolved.

```auto
mutate{
        gsub => ["MethodParameter", "[\r\n]", ""]
}
mutate{
        gsub => ["MethodParameter", '\"', "'"]
}

```
