Multiple text lines to be returned as one line

Posted: Dec 21, 2002 3:58 AM

To Anyone That Can Help,
I?m trying to develop an application that reduces multiple blank spaces in a text or HTML file to a single space and returns multiple lines of text into a single line of text. I have successfully completed the removing of spaces but I can?t seem to turn multiple lines of text into a single line. I upload selected file to a text area, manipulate the text and set the text to a second text area for saving as a file.

I have tried the following

HTMLTextCopyHolder.replace('\r',' ');
HTMLTextCopyHolder.replace('\l',' ');
HTMLTextCopyHolder.replace('\n',' ');

Any ideas please.

Thanks,
Lance

Not all OSes use just \r or \n.

Its best to leave file system specific stuff to the JVM:

String lineSeparator = (String)java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(
	new sun.security.action.GetPropertyAction("line.separator"));
