Subject: RE: replace carriage returns
How would I replace the carriage returns in a textarea entry with <br>?
<cfset
newstring='#REREPLACE("#REREPLACE("#Trim(form.mystring)#",""","""",
"all
")#","#chr(13)#","<br>","all")#'>
This will do carriage returns and quotes to you can pass the data around
in
forms. Keep in mind, however, if you stick <br> into a DB and pull it
back
to a form for edits later, you need to convert the <br> back to carriage
returns. The string below will do that:
#REREPLACE("#myoutputstring#","<br>","#chr(13)#","all")#
Hope that helps.
