Re: Can't get rid of newlines

Ok, if you converted all the "\n" to "<BR>" and then did a string replace looking for "\n" you won't find any cause you converted them to "<BR>". You could either do a string replace on "\n" or "\n\r" WITHOUT converting newlines to "<BR>" or just do a replace on "<BR>" after converting it. -Joe S.
