removing \r\n from string

[Guest]

Hello, how do I remove the "\r\n" newline characters from a string in AS3 ?
I can do it in Flex using StringUtil trim, but that is not available in Flash.

Thanks for any help.

To remove all you can use the String's replace() method. To actually trim (only remove trailing and starting whitespace) you'd have to look for a RegExp that does exactly that in combination with the replace() method

Try something like this which replaces returns with a space:

//grep to globally (gi) look for returns
var returns:RegExp=/\r/gi;

//your input text
var str:String="the text";

//return the clean text
str.replace(returns," ");
