Im searching a string for a certain character:
Dec Hx Oct Char
10 A 012 LF
What I need to do is remove it. I have six lines that keep reoccurring.
I get the length and then find the character. If it happens that a
character is at then or beginning I can do a l or rtrim but Im a little
stumped on removing it from the middle.

--------------------------------
$my_string = str_replace("\n", "", $my_string);
Will remove all LF's
Some notes -
Dec Hex Oct ASCII PHP
10 0A 012 LF "\n"
13 0D 015 CR "\r"
Windows uses "\r\n"
Linux/UNIX uses "\n"
Mac uses "\r"
To get to a standard (\n) from all formats -
$mystring = str_replace("\r", "\n", $my_string);
to remove all double line feeds -
while(strpos($my_string, "\n\n") != FALSE)
{
$my_srting = str_replace("\n\n", "\n", $my_string);
}
If white space is important then do it this way -
$mystring = str_replace("\r\n", "\n", $my_string);
$mystring = str_replace("\r", "\n", $my_string);
In english
CRLF becomes LF
CR becomes LF
$my_srting is now UNIX / Linux format
To convert to windows -
$mystring = str_replace("\n", "\r\n", $my_string);
To convert to Mac
$mystring = str_replace("\n", "\r", $my_string);
