To encrypt string with public key using RSA algorithm - invalid key format exception in Java

I'm trying to encrypt string using RSA with public Key in java. facing exception like "java.security.InvalidKeyException: invalid key format"

Partial Public key :

Note: public key generated and got from client.

Code:

    package com.Test.in;
    
    
    import java.security.KeyFactory;
    import java.security.PublicKey;
    import java.security.spec.X509EncodedKeySpec;
    import java.util.Base64;
    import javax.crypto.Cipher;
    
    
    public class RSA_PublicKey {
        public static final String NEW_LINE_CHARACTER = "\n";
        public static final String PUBLIC_KEY_START_KEY_STRING = "-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----";
        public static final String PUBLIC_KEY_END_KEY_STRING = "-----END PUBLIC KEY-----";
        public static final String EMPTY_STRING = "";
public static final String NEW_CR_CHARACTER = "\r";
        private static final String ALGORITHM = "RSA";
        
        public static void main(String[] args) {
             String pub_Key="-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\r\n" + 
                "MIICIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAg8AMIICCgKCAgEA993qkLy6s+EL5SQ7vqmZ\r\n" + 
                "LBZEV0/tc7T5x8yRJwN0WmWy2TxOnxjFuLvO2b9ai3aEe7X5a6jzl5aE99RXbo86\r\n" + 
                "IB2PDH1dDN+W2IKfQViRyZE8hKRZnLH+QEbbRr3a\r\n" + 
                "x/EVAnC/cObCKgjNY4jp30sCAwEAAQxxxxxxxx==\r\n" + 
                "-----END PUBLIC KEY-----";
             pub_Key=pub_Key.replaceAll(NEW_LINE_CHARACTER, EMPTY_STRING)
                        .replaceAll(PUBLIC_KEY_START_KEY_STRING, EMPTY_STRING)
                        .replaceAll(PUBLIC_KEY_END_KEY_STRING, EMPTY_STRING).replaceAll(NEW_CR_CHARACTER, EMPTY_STRING);
            
            byte[] publicKey  = pub_Key.getBytes();
            try {
                byte[] encryptedData = encrypt(publicKey,
                        "hi this is Visruth here".getBytes());
                
                String encryptedString = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(encryptedData);
                
                System.out.println("Output encryptedString: " + encryptedString);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
        
        public static byte[] encrypt(byte[] publicKey, byte[] inputData)
                throws Exception {
    
            PublicKey key = KeyFactory.getInstance(ALGORITHM)
                    .generatePublic(new X509EncodedKeySpec(publicKey));
    
            Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance(ALGORITHM);
            cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key);
    
            byte[] encryptedBytes = cipher.doFinal(inputData);
    
            return encryptedBytes;
        }
    }

Facing exception like below.

May I know the way to achieve this use case(encrypt string using RSA with public Key )?

Solution

As per suggestion above, I tried to remove \r and performing base64-decode of public key string , getting encrypted value.

Working Code:

package com.Test.in;
    
    
    import java.security.KeyFactory;
    import java.security.PublicKey;
    import java.security.spec.X509EncodedKeySpec;
    import java.util.Base64;
    import javax.crypto.Cipher;
    
    
    public class RSA_PublicKey {
        public static final String NEW_LINE_CHARACTER = "\n";
        public static final String PUBLIC_KEY_START_KEY_STRING = "-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----";
        public static final String PUBLIC_KEY_END_KEY_STRING = "-----END PUBLIC KEY-----";
        public static final String EMPTY_STRING = "";
        public static final String NEW_CR_CHARACTER = "\r";
        private static final String ALGORITHM = "RSA";
        public static String secretMessage  = "Some random words in no particular order.";
        
        public static void main(String[] args) {
             String pub_Key="-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\r\n" + 
                "MIICIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAg8AMIICCgKCAgEA993qkLy6s+EL5SQ7vqmZ\r\n" + 
                "LBZEV0/tc7T5x8yRJwN0WmWy2TxOnxjFuLvO2b9ai3aEe7X5a6jzl5aE99RXbo86\r\n" + 
                "IB2PDH1dDN+W2IKfQViRyZE8hKRZnLH+QEbbRr3a\r\n" + 
                "x/EVAnC/cObCKgjNY4jp30sCAwEAAQxxxxxxxx==\r\n" + 
                "-----END PUBLIC KEY-----";
             pub_Key=pub_Key.replaceAll(NEW_LINE_CHARACTER, EMPTY_STRING)
                        .replaceAll(PUBLIC_KEY_START_KEY_STRING, EMPTY_STRING)
                        .replaceAll(PUBLIC_KEY_END_KEY_STRING, EMPTY_STRING)
                        .replaceAll(NEW_CR_CHARACTER, EMPTY_STRING);
            
            byte[] publicKey = Base64.getDecoder().decode(pub_Key.getBytes());
            try {
                byte[] encryptedData = encrypt(publicKey,
                        secretMessage.getBytes());
                
                String encryptedString = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(encryptedData);
                
                System.out.println("Output encryptedString: " + encryptedString);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
        
        public static byte[] encrypt(byte[] publicKey, byte[] inputData)
                throws Exception {
    
            PublicKey key = KeyFactory.getInstance(ALGORITHM)
                    .generatePublic(new X509EncodedKeySpec(publicKey));
    
            Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance(ALGORITHM);
            cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key);
    
            byte[] encryptedBytes = cipher.doFinal(inputData);
    
            return encryptedBytes;
        }
    }

Output encryptedString:
