javascript replace() not replacing text containing literal \r\n strings

Question

Using this bit of code trims out hidden characters like carriage returns and linefeeds with nothing using javascript just fine:

value = value.replace(/[\\r\\         


        

Answer 1

If you have text with a lot of \r\n and want to save all of them try this one

value.replace(/(?:\\[rn]|[\r\n])/g,"
")
