[fwd] [thelist] Replacing Carriage returns in Javascript

[Dave Dufour]

Matthias,

Thanks.  I've found a good solution using the escape sequences and
REPLACE -- this is it from a Google Groups page:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
With js1.2 use
  String.replace()
e.g.
  "line 1\nline2\nline3\n".replace(/\n/g, "")
Depending on what you regard as a carriage return (\r or \n or \r\n)
adapt the regular expression
  "line 1\nline2\nline3\n".replace(/\r|\n|\r\n/g, "")
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

O'Reilly's provided some of this reference, but their examples were more
complex than I needed, so it was still a little confusing and it was hard to
locate the escape sequences you've provided here.  I'll hang on to this list
too.  Thanks for providing it.

Dave
