JavaScript Newline Character

Question

From this question, this ...

lines = foo.value.split(/\\r\\n|\\r|\\n/);

is one way to split a string, but how do I join it back with newlin

Answer 1

If you want to join using newline characters, just do:

lines.join("\r\n");

But if you want to display on the HTML page, you'd want to wrap each line in

tags:

html = "
" + lines.join("
") + "
";
