HTMLising TXT

What's the easiest way to go through the contents of a multiline text box and append "<br>" (without the quotes) to the end of each line?

It's part of a cgi program that lets the user open a text file and send it to the browser as a web page.

Use the Instr function to loop through every character looking for the vbCrlf character. When found, append a <br> tag and carry on looking.

Yeah, I get the idea:

Code:

---

    Dim iPosition As String
    iPosition = 0
    While iPosition <= Len(txtReply)
        iPosition = InStr(iPosition, txtReply, vbCrLf)
        If iPosition <> 0 Then
            txtReply = Left(txtReply, iPosition) & "<br>" & Right(txtReply, Len(txtReply) - iPosition)
        End If
    Wend

---

but I get an "Invalid Procedure Call or Argument" on the InStr (4th) line. Help.

Dim NextChar As String * 1
Dim strNew As String
For i% = 1 To Len(Text1.Text)
NextChar$ = Mid(Text1.Text, i, 1)
If NextChar$ = Chr(13) Then
strNew = strNew & "<br>" & LineText$
LineText$ = ""
ElseIf NextChar$ = Chr(10) Then
Else
LineText$ = LineText$ & NextChar$
End If
Next
