Hi

I currently have a multiline textbox on my web application page.

The information entered into the multiline textbox is saved to a database field.

For reporting i create a CSV file but i have noticed there is a problem, when users enter data into the textbox its creating a carriage return/line break when creating the CSV.

How can i remove this carriage return/linebreak when creating my csv file from a string?

The below statement replaces line breaks with a space character.

C#

Hope it helps.

Solution 2

You can use Regex also.

C#

var oldString = "your\ttext area\n string\r\n for testing";
var newString = string.Join(" ", Regex.Split(oldString, @"(?:\r\n|\n|\r)"));
