how i can remove all NewLine from a variable in SQL Server?

Question

how i can remove all NewLine from a variable in SQL Server?

I use SQL Server 2008 R2.

I need remove all NewLine in a variable in a T-Sql Command.

For example :

Declare @A NVarChar(500) 
Set @A = ' 12345
        25487
        154814 '
Print @A    

And it printed like this

 12345
        25487
        154814 

But i want get string like this

12345 25487 154814

I write this query but it not work :

Set @A = Replace(@A,CHAR(13),' ')

Answer 1

You must use this query

Declare @A NVarChar(500);

Set @A = N' 12345
        25487
        154814 ';

Set @A = Replace(@A,CHAR(13)+CHAR(10),' ');

Print @A;

Answer 2

If you want it to look exactly like in your sample output, use this hack:

DECLARE @A nvarchar(500) 
SET @A = ' 12345
        25487
        154814 '

SET @A = 
  replace(
    replace(
      replace(
        replace(@A, char(13)+char(10),' '),
      ' ','<>'),
    '><','')
  ,'<>',' ')

PRINT @A

It will first replace your newline's then your consecutive spaces with one. Pay attention that it would be wise to url-encode the input string to avoid nasty surprises.

Answer 3

Replace(@A,CHAR(13)+CHAR(10),' ') didn't remove all the spaces for me.

Instead I used

replace(replace(@A, char(13),N' '),char(10),N' ')

This works well!
