You can do a <cfset NewString = Replace(String, "#CHR(10)##CHR(13)#",
"<br>", "ALL")> to replace the CR/LF.  I may have those backwards (the 10
and 13), but that will give you the results you're looking for.

As far as the double-spaces, you can use <cfset NewString = Replace(String,
"  ", " &nbsp;", "ALL")>

Subject: String Formating


I have a form which I am dumping into a database.  I need to keep the
formatting that was used when submitting form (line breaks and spaces).

What I would like to do is replace spaces and breaks with "&nbsp;" and
"<br>"

How do I replace line breaks with a <br>?

By the way, I dont want to use <pre></pre> to format the text.
