Re: Detect newline in a form

[Steven Salaets]

I was more thinking about reading the string in java after I did
request.getParameter but unfortunately this does not work.

 This is the code I'm using to do this:

 private String newLine(String text) {
                        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(text);
                        String otext = text;
                        String find = "\n";
                        String replace = "<BR>";
                        do {     int found = othersrc.indexOf(find);
                                    if (found == -1) break;
                                    sb.replace(found, found + find.length(),
replace);
                                    othersrc = sb.toString();
                        } while (true);
                        return text;
}
However, this does not work :-(
Any idea's???
Thanks,

Steven

Hi everyone,

How can I handle new lines in a form?
 For example:

list
- line1
- line 2
- line 3
- line 4

ofcourse I could add <BR> at the end of each line (in the form field) but I
would like to know if there is a trick to handle this by adding some code to
a servlet.

Thanks,
Steven.
