Replace Char

Question

Hello

I need to inset an string to an html page, so need to replace new line with <brr> in my input string:

My input string can have either char(10) only, char(13) only and/or char(13) + char(10) both together.

So first should replace char(13) + char(10) combinations, then if any single char(13) or char(10) remains, replace them too.

Is this code what I need?

InputString.Replace(New Char() {Convert.ToChar(13), Convert.ToChar(10)}, "<br>")

Seems not working on some cases, I don't know what this part does:

New Char() {Convert.ToChar(13), Convert.ToChar(10)}

Thanks for advise :)

Hi

Maybe this would work.

    Dim test As String = "abcDEF" & vbCr & "ABCDefg" & vbLf & "WERTY" & vbCrLf & "YTRE" & "abcDEF" & vbCr & "ABCDefg" & vbLf & "WERTY" & vbCrLf & "YTRE"
    'abcDEF
    'ABCDefg
    'WERTY
    'YTREabcDEF
    'ABCDefg
    'WERTY
    'YTRE


    Dim res As String = test.Replace(vbCrLf, " < br > ").Replace(vbLf, " < br > ").Replace(vbCr, " < br > ")

    'abcDEF < br > ABCDefg < br > WERTY < br > YTREabcDEF < br > ABCDefg < br > WERTY < br > YTRE
