Is there a vbcrlf in javascript? And a replace? [Resolved]

[mendhak]

If I give you a string and tell you to replace all the vbcrlfs with <br>s, how would you do it, using JavaScript?

  var text = "line1\r\nline2\r\nline3\r\n"
  
  text = text.replace(/\r\n/g, "<br />\r\n"); // note first parameter must be a reg expression

I knew my snot would amount to something someday.

 var text = "lin1\r\nline2\r\nline3\r\n"
 
 text.replace("/\r\n/g", "<br />\r\n"); // note first parameter must be a reg expression

Since it's got to be a regexp, remove the quotes around it.

Hang on, this is Javascript, not perl. If you don't put quotes around it, it won't be valid code.

[CornedBee]

Yes, it is. JavaScript has RegExp literals.

I never knew that. I guess the code I gave is invalid and I'll need to change it .
