No, I mean /$\s*^/g which looks for any whitespace (including \n and \r)
between the end of a line and the beginning of the next (with the /g) so you
replace that with "". But for some reason that won't work in Flex's regexp
implementation although it does work fine in Java's. The second solution
works fine though:
var s : String = "Line\nLine2";
var rg : RegExp = /$\s*^/g;
trace("s == \"" + s + "\"");
trace("");
trace("s.replace(" + rg + ",\"\") == \"" + s.replace(rg,"")
+ "\"");
trace("");
trace("s.split(\"\\n\").join(\"\") == \"" +
s.split("\n").join("") + "\"");
trace("");
Gives:
s == "Line
Line2"
s.replace(/$\s*^/g,"") == "Line
Line2"
s.split("\n").join("") == "LineLine2"
